      15:31 : Ribera says that nothing points to the blackout in Spain and Portugal being intentional

      The vice president of the European Commission (EC) for the Clean Transition, Teresa Ribera, says that the blackout recorded in Spain and Portugal is one of the “most important” in recent years and points out that nothing allows us to think that it has been intentional. “There is nothing that allows us to make us think that there is anything intentional,” Ribera also said in statements to the press. (EFE)

      Speculation is fun, but … :)

        Thanks! Yeah it’s important to stick to the evidence. Otherwise it’ll seem like cyber attacks are much more prevalent than they actually are which helps Putin. But it’s hard not to have that initial reaction when hearing about fires and blackouts in Europe lately.

      Both Spanish and Portugese officals have been talking about the possibility of a cyber attack. The fact that hours later we do not know what happened makes that unforunatly a possibility.

    I am in southern Spain right now. Power came back about 30 minutes ago.

    It is interesting how quiet a city can be.

    Whatever the cause, this doesn’t look good. About 60 million people without power.

    At least in Valencia there’s cell service, as I was able to WhatsApp some family there to check on them.

    Some data carriers with difficultues and broadcasting stations worked but on the street level trains, metros and traffic lights are still off in many places after 10 hours.

    The Spanish and Portuguese presidents are saying that they don’t dismiss any hypothesis, but the only info beoadcasted through the news were that there was an overload in some point of the grid that created a domino effect and left all the system without voltage

      I don’t think Spain has a president. It is a kingdom

      Edit: I stand corrected. They call the leaders of goverments presidents.

        Spain is a parliamentary monarchy, the King is the head of the Estate and a symbolic figure but doesn’t have power over the Parliament. In Spain we don’t use the title “prime minister” we have a President of the government and a president for each of the 16 autonomic regions (similar to federated estates).

      I think it would be more widespread if it was a true Carrington event. Might still be a mini one. Actually kind of rooting for this to be the case because then the only bad actors are the politicians and power company administrators that have ignored the warnings. Might lead to reforms worldwide.
