He spent more than a week from a Mass blackout He left the peninsula without light or electricity, but the causes that caused it are still unknown. In fact, in Moncloa they recognize that the investigations to determine can last Three and six months And they already advance it, until then, They will not exclude any hypothesis. “We will have to investigate who was responsible and what happened. It will take us,” they say. In this sense, they point out that some information from the “black boxes” of private operators, who recognize as a “investigated part”, can be fundamental in their conclusions, although they insist not to exclude any theory, not even that of the IT attack.
After the Blackout, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchezhe asked Responsibility of the electrical sectorincluding private companies and also Red Eléctric, and announced that he would launch a survey led by the ministry he directs Sara Aagesen Speaking of what has happened, parallel to another that Brussels performs. THE European Commission God Three months to the government to present their conclusions And, as far as your own is concerned, there was a period of Semester to present a relationshipin which he will provide recommendations for Spain. So the causes of what happened on April 28 takes months to meet.
From Moncloa insist that these research should not participate in companies in the sector, since they are “The part investigated”. “They must provide data,” they say, in allusion to what they call the “black boxes” and their internal relationships on what could happen. They underline the idea that the entire electricity sector is “in private hands” -not the fact that Red Eléctric is semi -republic -, therefore it is logical that the government intervenes in an issue such as electricity, an essential and critical system for all states.
In this sense, it is not expected that Sanchez reveals any news on the Blackout investigations in the appearance of this Wednesday at the Congress, however, the sources of the government recognize that some could announce some Measures aimed at improving the electrical system. In this regard, they recognize that the improvement of the network was scheduled for the next five years and this was collected by electric red this January in a relationship, but that for “time” problems it had not yet been launched.
Feijóo will decide whether to investigate the Senate Blackout
The opposition has dedicated the last few days to ask for explanations from a government that, without offering a “look” of conclusive information on the possible causes, promises that “does not have another huge blackout and, moreover, indicates private operators. Only 24 hours after the fall of the network, from the PP he has already slipped the theory according to which the government hides the information: “Either they know what happened and don’t say it, or they don’t know both situations”, they indicated from Genoa after Alberto núñez feijóo He asked the European authorities for help to know the “truth” on the blackout. The popular president took advantage of the meeting with the great European leaders of the PP to report that there were no proven information on the fall of the electricity grid and ensure that “Everything will be known.”
“Did you ask me many questions: what happened? What happened? Can it be repeated again? I would like to answer these questions, but I can’t do it and I can’t do it because the Official information we have at the moment It is not clarifying or contrasted “, He underlined from Congress PPE which was held in Valencia, a few minutes after having a telephone conversation with President Pedro Sánchez.
Here’s how A week later, Bean doubling your offensive. He will take advantage of his first face to face with Sanchez from the accident a Remember the “multiple communications that the government had to provide for the blackout” last Monday and reproaching his attacks on “third parties”, or against other shareholders of the electrical network through “an alleged computer attack has not yet been excluded to justify the blackout, or an alleged sabotage as an excuse to not apologize even for the delays of trains”, says his team.
In any case, the main objective of the PP is “Knowing what happened, what the government has hidden for a week; What prevention plans have the government and the electrical network, because the notices have been ignored or because we have been without updating for five years. “For this reason, the popular parliamentary group recorded a double Tuesday Investigation Commission in Cortes. The spokesperson Miguel Tellado He explained that the priority was that the psoe coopere to be celebrated at the congress and only if the parliamentary groups block it, the PP will use its absolute majority in the Senate to open this research in the other parliamentary headquarters.
However, the situation changed when the PSOE has decided to record its research commission in the low chamber. Therefore, Feijóo will face this question in the face to find out what Sánchez’s intentionality is when this is said to be called the initiative: if he has to “control” or know the truth. Depending on the answer, the Popular will decide whether to open the research to the Senatewhere the PP has a majority of asbbuties.
In the same way, during the apparition, the popular will respond to the measures that Sánchez will adopt to deal with the new security and defense needs of the European Union by remembering that the government “cannot be part of the solution of the problem of the instability that Europe has to face when It is unable to guarantee or the supply of electricity, Neither telecommunications nor transport networks in our country. ”
