This video from Belgium says about itself:

The bailout of the financial sector cost thousands of billions of euros. In this episode, we’ll take a look at who eventually footed the bill.

Second episode of the web series based on the bestselling “How dare they? – The euro, the crisis and the big hold-up” by Peter Mertens. Over 5 episodes, we’ll take a look at the winners and losers of the euro crisis. Above all we ask: what kind of Europe do we want?
