They're doing it because they have to give another country more money and they have to worry about the people who elect them. I don't think there is anything more sinister than that at play.
I agree it's a stupid move and hopefully it will be rejected and new terms come up. However I don't think it's especially sinister for the people who are stumping up the money to ask for concessions in return. It just seems like anti-German feeling needing an outlet. Germany can just tell these countries to get lost. They can't be that exposed to Cypriot debt.
