They didn't publish that number here. I think they thought we (the Dutchies) might get even more riled up about it. The financial world is already quite upset by our minister of Finances' move to help out Fortis, because they feel that the government bought worthless shares: all the profit-giving parts of Fortis are to be sold. Or so they say.
That and the fact that the government used borrowed money to pay for it and not tax-money. (well, either would have led to protests, but to borrow money in order to bail out a bank in the current economic environment really might not have been the best move ever...)
