"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Spanish Banks Threaten Bail-In To Cover For Their Fiscal Ineptitude
Submitted by A. Magnus on Tue, 2017-06-06 23:00
"Analysts estimate that the bank needs at least €4 billion more capital and it is burdened with a likely insurmountable €37 billion pile of toxic property loans and assets. Banco Popular is Spain’s sixth-largest bank and there is a debate as to whether it is systematically important. It likely is as it has the largest amount of small business customers in Spain. These companies are the backbone of the Spanish economy and now vulnerable to having their deposits over €100,000 confiscated in bank bail-ins."
