Why do the Spanish need to exclude Paraguay from a summit in order to talk to Cristina about her asset theft?

Can't they afford the phone bill?

The reality is that the Spanish since 1990 have been presuming to be the natural “Bridge” from SA to Europe and also US.

They were showing all over the world former SA state companies acquired by them as a sign of the influence they got in the region.

Even a stupid Spanish politician went to US to promote a “Plan Marshal” style loans program to be manage by them in which US would have to put 100bn and Spain 5bn to promote growth and business (of course their business). The yanks of course laugh...

Now after the YPF nationalisation by Arg. their credibility to get profit from SA and to repay debt owned to international bankers has been eroded and they are desperate because if something similar will happen again (like the nationalisation of Telefonica for example) none will lend a penny to them any more.

That is the terror that the Spanish have now, and they should be very scared by now.

So the Spanish tiger turned into a domestic little cat to be swallowed by International lions bankers.

If what you say is true then surely Argentina is already the “domestic little cat” you speak of. You are far further down that road than Spain are.

Such childishness,
using non-attendance at trans-continental summits to score political points.

These ibero-american summits are designed to cement friendships and facilitate trade relationships.

Sooo short-sighted and counter-productive.

The Spanish are close to collapse like Italy and then follows UK.

Be patient I said before that to the end of 2012 we will see the true consequences of the bank mess.

The bad times have not even started in Europe...
