Rajoy blamed the previous Socialist government, saying it should have taken more vigorous action on the banks three years ago, when most of euro zone countries bailed out their lenders. With Spain’s borrowing costs soaring and making it impossible for the government to raise enough money to help the banks itself, Rajoy said he had pressured Europe for the aid - contradicting reports that the euro zone had pressured him into the deal to try to stop the euro zone crisis deepening.Īdding to the wider turmoil, Greece will hold an election on June 17 that could decide its future in the euro, with voters split over that country’s international bailout which has kept the economy afloat at the price of harsh austerity measures.Ī series of halfhearted Spanish banking reforms have failed to remove doubts about the financial sector. “Rajoy makes himself out to be the savior of the euro and parades the pressure tactics he used to get us this marvelous gift of a tailor-made rescue,” wrote El Pais editor Lluis Bassets in an online opinion piece on Sunday. ![]() Traditional and social media blasted Rajoy for not announcing the rescue himself on Saturday - instead putting his economy minister in the firing line - before getting on a plane to see Spain play Italy in Poland on Sunday. However, he told Reuters: “The deal can be very positive if he explains to Spaniards there are still a lot of chores to do.” Rajoy is not Saint George killing the dragon,” he said. Xavier Vidal-Folch, a columnist at the El Pais newspaper, remained skeptical. “Getting a 100 billion credit line is not such an easy thing to achieve,” Rajoy told a news conference. Instead he referred only to “what happened yesterday”, saying that the deal to shore up banks hit hard by a burst property bubble and recession had no strings attached and would return credibility to the euro. Rajoy avoided calling the deal agreed by euro zone finance ministers a “rescue” - even though every leading Spanish newspaper called it just that on Sunday - apparently because this would imply the kind of humiliating conditions and surveillance by European officials that Ireland, Greece and Portugal have endured under their bailouts. However, others were less forgiving, while online many Spaniards accused him of cowardice and expressed astonishment that he had gone off to watch Spain play in the European football championships on Sunday. Some commentators were willing to give Rajoy the benefit of the doubt as Spain became the fourth euro zone country to seek international aid in the two-and-a-half-year debt crisis. With the economy contracting, one in four workers out of a job, and Greek elections next weekend overshadowing the entire euro zone, Spaniards accepted that Saturday’s announcement of the bank rescue was necessary but many doubted it would solve the problems of Spain or the euro. What we don’t know is what types of Champions the Scorn will have, as all races so far have only ever adopted two out of the three possible options, for example the Vex use Barrier and Overload Champions, no unstoppables, while the Hive also use Barrier Champions, but also Unstoppables, opting instead for no Overloads.MADRID (Reuters) - Confused and anxious Spaniards heaped scorn on Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Sunday for portraying a 100 billion euro European rescue of the country’s zombie lenders as a triumph, expressing skepticism about whether the plan will work. ![]() So we have indirect confirmation of Scorn Champions, finally filling out the roster which was last added to last year with Taken Champions all the way back in Season of Arrivals. This was completely unexpected because ‘The Hollowed Lair’ is the only strike to feature mainly Scorn enemies and Scorn are also the only enemy faction that currently does not have any form of Champion enemies, those being Barrier, Overload and Unstoppable, which make up a good chunk of the Nightfall difficulty. This is the Nightfall that will kick off next season. One strike I can tell you for sure we were not expecting to be in the rotation was ‘The Hollowed Lair’ on the Tangled Shore, however an in-game popup clearly stated exactly that. With Season 15 right around the corner in Destiny 2, my clan and I have been trying to guess what the Nightfall strikes are going to be, there are always 6 out of a possible 15 and so far the only one we are sure of is ‘The Corrupted’ strike in the Dreaming City. The Scorn were first introduced the ‘Forsaken’ (2018) expansion.
