ALBUFEIRA

Rodeada pela última geração de abutres esfomeados, a velha Europa caminha inexoravelmente para a sua morte, sem objectivos – a não ser a sobrevivência ilusória de alguns – e sem descendência – atirando os seus jovens para o abismo.

The Cypriot bailout follows those for Greece, Portugal, Ireland and the Spanish banking sector, and it is the first one that dips into people's savings to finance a bailout. Analysts worry the move could roil international markets and jeopardize Europe's fragile economies.

Officials in Spain and Italy tried over the weekend to reassure their citizens by saying the situation in Cyprus is unique, and that bank deposits in their countries will remain safe.
