lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the agreements reached here have time and again proved to be worth nothing because countries have failed to keep to them. Spain appears to have even employed blackmail in order to receive those EUR 100 billion. According to Bloomberg, Spain formulated its threat as follows: ‘If you want to force a bailout for Spain, start preparing EUR 500 billion and another EUR 700 billion for Italy which will have to be bailed out after us’. Is it true, Mr President, that this was said during the negotiations about whether to give EUR 100 billion to Spain? In any case, this explains why Spain will not be placed under the strict supervision of the troika. Prime Minister Rajoy pretty much declared last Sunday, 10 June, a national holiday, because Spain received EUR 100 billion. This is EUR 100 billion of hard-earned cash taken from taxpayers including from those in the Netherlands. What is more, Spain does not even have to meet the strict conditions that Greece, Portugal and Ireland have to meet. The question I would like to ask the Commission and the Council about this is as follows: what do you think about the threats that Spain levelled at the Council during the negotiations? How will the Greeks, Portuguese and Irish feel now that Spain is not required to meet the same strict conditions? Can you explain to the Greeks and the Portuguese why Spain is receiving preferential treatment? Can you explain to the Dutch and German taxpayers why Spain has been allowed to get away with years of mismanagement and why it is now being rewarded with EUR 100 billion? Finally, what do the Commission and the Council think about Spain’s plan to cancel EUR 750 million worth of debt incurred by ailing Spanish football clubs so that Dutch and German taxpayers can bankroll Messi’s and Ronaldo’s multimillion euro salaries?"@en1
