Add raise your demands after the blackout: Request to purify responsibilities and a change of model with 100% of public control | Spain
Torment claims to purify responsibilities for the Monday blackout and a change of model in the electrical system that gives 100% of the state control. Two days after the ruling that left the entire Iberian Peninsula and a part of France without electricity supply for more than 12 hours in some cases, the group that coordinates the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has raised on Wednesday its demands by also requesting a research commission to clarify what happened or continue promoting renewables, among other issues.
After a very lukewarm statement only of the Sumar Movement, the organization of the related Diaz, and in which the formation requested « not to be entangled in partisan fights », the coalition as a whole claims now in another writing « transparency » to « guarantee » that what happened « does not happen again. »
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, He already slid in the appearance on Tuesday his discomfort with a Spanish Electricthe company participated by the State and directed by the former socialist minister Beatriz Corredor, who this morning, in an interview in Cadena Ser, He has ruled out resigning. In La Moncloa they ask for transparency, also to electricity companies, which have a lot of information.
« It is necessary to analyze the causes that have led to this situation, it is absolutely fundamental to know what things have worked and which do not and that this knowledge serves to improve our electricity network, » says the text issued by adding this Wednesday, which affects that the cut last Monday « forces the initiative to take. »
In their statement, those of Díaz advocate the public control of 100% of the electricity grid to guarantee « the right to energy » and ask that « responsibilities » in the face of energy oligopoly be « demanded, demanding explanations and detailed information of the actions. “It is essential transparency that allows to guarantee that it does not happen again. Likewise, the reasons why the protection measures of the Electric Red They have been insufficient, ”says the writing.
In a note consisting of six points, add also requests to promote networks of self -consumption, citizen participation and consumer rights and guarantee the access of the energy supply to the whole of citizenship « territorially and socially and socially. » At a time when the rights have questioned the performance of green energies, add commitment to “a renewable and resilient storage deployment, planned and respectful of the territory and biodiversity” as the “best base” to guarantee the safety of the energy system.
The statement arrives a day after the United Left, part of the coalition, already demanded in another text referred to media « all the power for the public » and asked to « put limits » to « record » benefits of the electricity that also described as « obscene. » « An instrument as a Spanish Electric Red is strategic and must be 100% public again, » he concluded. In statements to the media, its federal coordinator, Antonio Maíllo, was equally very hard with the attitude of PP and Vox, which criticized the “informative blackout” and the executive management on Monday. « It is unfortunate that the right demonstrates once again that they bring the interests of Spanish society to Pairo and that there is nothing that prevents them from attacking, rightly or without it, the government, » he denounced.
