The irony is that these bank sponsored papers are indeed worthless at market value (since there is no buyer) and that is the case because everyone is too leveraged by the very same banks and so no one has money left to be a buyer...

All of course caused by ECB total lack of willingness to act as a real bank regulator (since ECB now has a monopoly on this).

Politically the ECB actions are nothing short of incredible:

• ECB criticize strongly workers union for asking for raises and going to strike, totally outside of ECB mandate
  
• ECB criticize states for their work regulations, totally outside of ECB mandate
  
• ECB says because of the two above it is forced to raise rate and create unemployment and unrest, hell to evil workers and policiticans!
  
• ECB just creates 100 billions in liquidity to save rich people and irresponsible banks shareholder value, ECB fully responsible for the mess because it did not act
  
• ECB, now that rich people and shareholders are involved  might not raise rates after all !!!!

No MSM will report those simple facts put together of course...
