Cyprus backlash touches raw nerve in bailout-weary Berlin

BERLIN, March 27 (Reuters) – A wave of anti-German sentiment
unleashed by the harsh conditions imposed in a 10-billion euro
bailout for Cyprus has stung politicians in Berlin and may
harden resistance to further euro zone rescue measures in the
run-up to a September election.

Although Germany was not alone in pressing for a “bail-in”
of depositors in Cypriot banks that will force massive losses on
wealthy savers and probably end the island’s run as an offshore
financial centre, it has taken much of the blame.
