The opposition leader and national president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, went to the Galicia Emergency Attention Center in A Estrada (Pontevedra) during the morning of this Friday. He did it accompanied by the head of the Xunta, Alfonso … Rueda, to give a balance of the situation four days after the blackout that affected the entire country on Monday morning. In the absence of a concrete explanation, he explained, he will request a International independent audit To analyze what happened. Or the government is incompetent, he denounced, or is “hiding” information
Feijóo began his intervention recognizing the work carried out, not only in the Galician community, but in all autonomous communities. Also valued the work done by the public servicesespecially the Local Police and health professionals and social services that, thanks to their work, “avoided many deaths,” although he recalled, this event collection of fatal victims such as the three deaths caused by the bad combustion of a generator in a municipality of Orense. Citizenship, he said, had an “exemplary behavior” demonstrating that Spanish is an “excellent people.”
But, despite Pisho, he continued, four days of “hesitations and partial information” have already passed in which “neither the Government nor Red Eléctrica have explained to the Spaniards what has happened.” This, he said, can only be due to two reasons: «One manifest incompetence of the Government of Spain », or a” concealment “of information with which it” tries to get a story “that benefits them.
In line, he considered an “irresponsibility” to consider Electric Red A “Private Operator” In an emergency situation, remembering that not only there is a limit of capital that partners (5%) can have that cannot vote if they do not have a minimum of 3%, but that the State has the vast majority, 20%. “It is a strategic company and the composition of the shareholders clearly determines the prominence of the public,” he denounced. Proof of this, he said, is that the government designates the presidency.
On the other hand, instead of a concrete explanation, from the government, he regretted, “surprising” things are being heard: “We are told that it will not happen again but that it is not known what has happened, we are told that it is early to draw conclusions but that it is not the responsibility of the government.” Spain, continued, made an “international ridiculous” and “unprecedented” that “does not deserve” and improper of a developed country, which “cannot be turned off” or run out of telecommunications “for so long.”
«Therefore we formally request an international independent audit that accredits exactly what happened. Portugal does not trust President SánchezI don’t, most Spaniards either. You can’t try to colonize institutions and always blame others, ”said the popular leader.
Thus defended the energy proposal of the PP, which is not “improvised” and “has been presented in the courts for a long time.” The country, he recalled, “has suffering clean energy and without emissions, including support energy” to avoid a situation like this. «Faced with improvisation, firmness and reliability are necessary, and Spain, as an energy producer, is reliable. The problem is that the Government that hides us information»He condemned. Although he says not to know what happened, he failed “everyone.” Something “very exceptional,” he joked, that “I do not know what happened but know who the culprits are.”
In addition, questioned by the means about the information known these days that some electric had warned of tensions and instabilities in the network, he explained that, if confirmed, it would further prove the “incompetence” of the government. In line, he recalled that, as head of the opposition, he held a meeting by videoconference with the regional presidents at nine o’clock on Monday, something that, at that time, the government had not yet done, wondering “how it is possible.” «There was enough space and time, from half past twelve until nine o’clock at night, to bring together the regional presidents, ask for collaboration and declare a National Emergency ex officio On the part of the Government », but, instead of this, the emergency declared itself” in parts “, at the request of each community. “A country without light and without communications is a national emergency book, which should have been activated at 30 minutes to confirm that the network had fallen and that we could not replace it at least, for hours,” he said about it.
Finally, also to media questions, censored that the Executive continues to go “against” the “energy policy of the European Union». “After what has happened, it is accredited that closing nuclear power plants is a mistake,” he said, something that also reduces the “competitiveness” of the country. It is, he said, a “recklessness” that responds only to “ideological.” Meanwhile, he continued, in Brussels it has been clear that “nuclear energy is clean, with zero emission and, therefore, green energy.” In Europe, he said, “there is no government that is dismantling its nuclear power plants,” especially at the current situation, in which the union is clear about the importance of guaranteeing its energy sovereignty.
