Congress approves creating two blackout research commissions at the same time | Spain

Congress This Wednesday has approved the creation of two research commissions on what happened during the blackout of April 28, just one month after the crisis that led to the entire country and the entire Iberian Peninsula to energy zero. The two commissions will be created at the same time, more than probably with the same members, similar work agenda and appearing, but different objectives. The one promoted by the PP was the one that obtained the most support, 180, with the addition of Vox, UPN, Junts and Podemos, And it seeks above all to ratify that the Government of Pedro Sánchez was responsible for all chaos. The sponsored by the PSOE and add, with the support of its usual partners, only collected 175 affirmative votes, five less, and argues that it intends to identify the causes of the great blackout and repair the failures for the future. Canarian coalition abstained in both.

The debate developed to justify the creation of these two commissions, in line with the right one of several interpellations about the blackout to the third vice president, Sara Aagesen, served to verify that the causes of that total cast of the country are still known And that the purposes of both proposals seemed similar, but they were not at all.

At three research commissions already approved and in force On different issues in Congress, the most recent one about the Dana that is still to be defined and appearing this Friday, will now join in principle two others on the great blackout of 28-A, which, on the other hand, already has its own research commission also in the Senate, which totally controls the PP. The evidence that the main parties use this parliamentary instrument according to their political interests, and to try to control their developments, it was re -verified this Wednesday when allowing them to reach the discussion, vote and approval in the plenary of the two proposals to create those commissions on the blackout, both that of the PP and that of the PSOE and add, in theory almost with the same statement. At least the debate subsumed and concentrated on one, which corroborated the different planned purposes.

The PP spokesman, Guillermo Mariscal, denounced with his usual burning that the government had no credit or credibility to explain anything or rule out anything about the blackout and quickly concluded that because of its inoperance the country now has “more insecurity, vulnerability and distrust”. Mariscal did advance that his group will ask them to appear in his commission both former Vice President Third, Teresa Ribera, and the current Red Electricity, the former socialist ministry Beatriz Corredor. And determined that the problem recorded on 28-A « It was not a technical ruling but the symbol that the government does not work. »

The president of the PSOE and former minister Cristina Narbonne He admitted that it was already something « unpublished » that he had had to discuss and vote two commissions about « the same fact » and « with the possibility of the same appearances. » The PSOE, in fact, plans to nominate the same spokesmen for both of them and ask for the same appears. Narbonne, yes, he wanted to underline that if the PP what is really intended to blame for the Government of Pedro Sánchez already has the commission and the absolute majority of the Senate to take the appearing parties there. « You do not need any commission, you already know what happened, and that the person in charge is the irresponsible government of Pedro Sánchez and they already requested resignations from the first moment, » Narbonne ironized, and argued that before a problem of this size it would take a « serious and rigorous » debate.

The socialist deputy predicted that the PP will try again in the « bubble » of the new commission her strategy of « Mix, emphasize and exaggerate everything with the stumbling and corruption mafia and corruption. » But he advanced a difference: « We no longer start from a closed diagnosis like you. »

That argument to arrive with the conclusions made against the PP commission then used more political groups, although some, such as together and Podemos, took advantage of the circumstance and the current climate of generalized confrontation to give another touch of attention to the coalition executive, for their particular reasons. Eloi Badia, the spokesman to add, who signed with the PSOE his commission, did not miss the opportunity to denounce that for blackouts and not only electric those that deliberately cause the « genocidal government » of Israel for 30 months over the Gaza Strip.

Add, BNG, PNV and ERC reproached their « catastrophist exaggerations » and their positions already set in advance on that energy crisis. Martina Velarde, by Podemos, did everything possible to be equally equidistant in her harsh criticisms of PP, PSOE and add for trying to « leave out » of their interrogations in these new commissions to the highest responsible « of the electric oligopoly and the large companies of the sector. » Pilar Calvo, from Junts, clarified that they would support the two commissions, but entertained more time to regret the deficiencies and lack of government information after the blackout and in the month elapsed since then.

The two commissions now have to go through the filter of becoming, set up a table and an presidency that directs and orders their debates and their calendar. The vast majority of the debate on these great blackout commissions ran with a practically empty hemicycle.
