11bn euro (£9.2bn) plan
1.1% of the Spain's

The auto industry rescue stinks, but it´s a necessary compromise since they are foreign companies that have been planning and threatening lay-offs for months, even though the plants are profitable.  Thanks, Nissan, GM-Opel, et al.  The auto industry covers 300K jobs and it´s too late to divert any without a huge blowback for people and unions.  

Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
