A series of text messages between Mariano Rajoy and finance minister Luis de Guindos gives an insight as to how the Spanish managed to get such a good deal for its banking bailout compared to other nations. Spain’s neighbour Portugal is feeling slightly aggrieved as it has had to endure strict austerity measures and the humiliation of EU interference.

According to the newspaper El ...

"Whoever gives money, never gives it for free," Mr. Almunia said. "There're people coming here (to Spain) to make sure the money will be properly used."

Amadeu Altafaj, a Commission spokesman, said European Union funding will carry "strict conditions" on the oversight of Spain's banking reform. Mr. Altafaj, who like Mr. Almunia is Spanish, said the loan's conditions will be subject to the country hitting previously agreed macroeconomic targets.

“The scrutiny of Italy is high and certainly will not dissipate after the deal with Spain,” Nicola Marinelli, who oversees US$153 million at Glendevon King Asset Management in London, said in an interview. “This bailout does not mean that Italy will be under attack, but it means that investors will pay attention to every bit of information before deciding to buy or to sell Italian bonds.”

German editorialists on Monday say Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy made the right decision by bowing to pressure from the rest of the EU, but add that the rescue of up to €100 billion ($126 billion) is likely to bring only temporary relief in the euro crisis, with the Greek election just six days away. Commentators also say the wrangling that preceded Spain's call for aid suggests that even with the crisis in its third year, Europe's crisis management remains sluggish and unwieldy.

Spain, a eurozone behemoth, is in the crosshairs of Europe's financial crisis. The country is suffering from soaring borrowing costs, a banking system leaking cash and unemployment rates at devastating levels.

Greece might be teetering toward expulsion from the eurozone but Spain's situation is now the focus of concern. If such a major economy were to fail, the repercussions could cause unprecedented havoc across Europe -- and the globe.

Just how bad is the pain in Spain?
