Alberto N煤帽ez Feij贸o, leader of the Partido Popular (PP), strongly criticized Pedro S谩nchez's address to the Spanish parliament regarding the April 28th power outage and the country's rearmament plan. Feij贸o accused S谩nchez of victimization and shifting blame instead of apologizing to the Spanish people. He highlighted the government's lack of foresight, reaction, and transparency.
Feij贸o particularly criticized the government's energy model, pointing out that Spain relied on Morocco and France (which use thermal and nuclear energy) to overcome the outage. He called the model "ideological" and questioned its viability.
Feij贸o cited eleven warnings received by the government in the past five years regarding the vulnerability of the electrical system. He called for an independent investigation by the European Union and demanded resignations, including that of Red El茅ctrica's president, Beatriz Corredor.
Feij贸o also questioned the defense plan, linking it to the power outage and emphasizing the need for congressional approval. He highlighted the government's lack of support, noting even the lack of support within the cabinet.
Feij贸o's criticism centered on the government's handling of the power outage and its implications for national security, underscoring concerns about energy policy and governmental transparency.
