Spanish ire against bankers spills over

After losing euro 8,000 on an interest-rate swap sold with her mortgage, Maria Jesus del Rio joined demonstrators in her home town of Soria as protests against politicians and bankers spilled onto Spanish streets. 

“There’s a growing feeling that the banks have played a big part in the problems now facing Spain,” said del Rio, who gathered with a throng of people in the town’s main square last week.
