“when climate fanaticism is imposed on science, the result is not progress, but dark”
The head of the Popular Party delegation in the European Parliament and Vice President of the EPP Group, Pain Montserrat, He stressed today that the incompetence of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, and the energy policies carried out so far by their team, have put in check the energy security “of Portugal, France and the Union.”
Therefore, during the thematic debate held by the European Parliament today in Strasbourg in the presence of the Energy Commissioner, Dan Jorgensen, demanded an exhaustive investigation directed by independent, external experts, of proven and dilated experience such as those of the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (Acer), which can clarify “what Sánchez hides: what happened, why it happened, why it happened. “An investigation because the brain of the disaster that almost collapses Spain is no longer in Madrid. It is in Brussels. And it is called Teresa Ribera,” he said.
Montserrat, who stressed that Ribera fled the plenary to “not talk about her bad heritage,” he insisted in this sense that the now European Commissioner and Sánchez “are responsible for the demonization of nuclear, the lack of energy protection and the delay in interconnections with Europe.” “This is not about ideology, but of science,” he said.
For this reason, it is necessary to stop the fanaticism of politicians such as Sánchez. “Because a green transition that ignores reality is not an advance: it is a threat.”
As Montserrat explained, the collapse “was not an accident, it was a negligence announced.” “Last year, Red Eléctrica, the National Operator, warned in his report that closing nuclear centrals and betting everything to renewables, without interconnections or prevention and storage systems, weakening the network, would multiply the incidents and put the supply and the supply at risk. Everything was written. Everything was ignored. And everything failed,” he said.
“Five seconds. That was what lasted Sánchez’s green transition before the entire country went black,” he added.
In this sense, the popular leader explained that, before the historical blackout, Sánchez presumed that Spain was a world leader in energy transition. “The president of Red Eléctrica, placed by finger and whose only technical guarantee is her socialist card, said that Spain would never suffer a blackout. And the Minister of Ecological Transition, a week before the disaster, said that” Spain will be green, or will not be. “And, indeed, it was not. It was neither green, nor stable, nor safe,” he lamented.
During the plenary debate, Montserrat insisted that the Spain blackout confirms that, “when climate fanaticism is imposed on science, the result is not progress. It is darkness. And it is paid with money, credibility and, unfortunately, with human lives.”
Along the same lines, the Eurodiputada Pilar del Castillo He explained that the total collapse of the electrical system in Spain allows us to get a first lesson: “It is urgent to eradicate the messianic vision of renewable energies and the demonization of nuclear.” “This confrontation has been the hallmark of the energy policy of the President of the Government and its Minister Ribera,” he recalled.
In his opinion, energy security does not need confrontation, but balance. “It requires that each energy source fulfill its role. From the renewable to the nuclear, from the gas to the hydraulic, each one has a precise and essential contribution.”
“Only from technological neutrality can be guaranteed the stability of the energy system. And this is what the Government of Spain systematically follows, today, ignoring,” said Del Castillo.
He also advocated urgent investigation by the European Commission because “it is necessary to know the truth.”
