Signs that Spain needs aid for its banks shows that Europe's answers to the eurozone sovereign debt crisis have failed, the head of Greece's leftist party that could win June 17 elections said on Saturday.

"Namely, that the crisis is a pan-European problem and that the way it has been dealt with until now has been completely ineffective and socially disastrous," the 37-year-old said.
