The Reuters agency publishes a ticker that causes an 'earthquake' in our country: "Spain inflated the deficit figures in ." They cited anonymous sources from the European Union. The British agency has since issued three pieces of information that harshly attack Spain. The last one, last Friday. This ticker has strained the patience of several European journalists and the Eurogroup. Reuters' 'offensive' against Spain has crossed national borders. Some European journalists , who work Middle East Mobile Number List in Brussels, do not believe the teletypes that the prestigious agency publishes about our country. These professionals have direct and daily contact with community institutions and do not hear from European leaders what Reuters says about Spain. One of them has decided to raise his voice and complain about what Reuters is doing. This is Jean Quatremer , veteran Libération journalist and expert on European affairs.
This is what he has written in an article titled ' Reuters's dirty play in the eurozone crisis ': -- Last Friday, Reuters published a ticker titled: “ Spain is discussing a total rescue plan ” of 300 billion euros. The news would have caused great alarm throughout the EU, but it barely had any echo. In Spain, only El Economista highlighted it. -- Quatremer says that the information is not close to reality . And he explains it like this: “Spain only has to increase its debt by 50 billion euros to cover its commitments in 2012.” The bank rescue plan, worth 100 billion, should be enough to meet the deficit limit, since in January 2013, European funds will be able to directly recapitalize Spanish savings banks without going through the state budget. “Strange, very strange,” adds the French journalist. -- Therefore, Spain is not Greece and the Reuters information is alarmist . Quatremer explains that his sources in Brussels deny everything published by Reuters: -- “As always, Reuters has a single source .” His contacts criticize that the agency publishes what a person says, without talking to other actors.
They point out that it is probably a German source (they rule out that it is Joaquín Almunia). -- They point to "a subordinate of the general directorate of Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Commission ." What's more, Brussels has opened an internal investigation to discover who the Reuters source is. This is confirmed to the Libération journalist by Jean-Claude Juncker himself , head of the Eurogroup: “We seek to know where [the leak] comes from, because it is totally false .” And he adds: “There will be no traditional bailout for Spain.” The French journalist highlights that most newspapers have preferred to “distrust” Reuters information and not publish it. European journalists come to Quatremer's defense The same Saturday, after a series of tweets, the French journalist received a public disqualification on the social network from the head of Reuters in Brussels: “And Libération, always in first place in the European Union... I don't think so. More than 20 years in Brussels and… Bah,” wrote Luke Barker . Immediately, several Brussels-based journalists come to Quatremer's defense. One of them is Antonio Delgado , a correspondent for Radio Nacional, who says: “Quatremer is right.
