The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, announced that up to eight autonomous communities have established level 3 of civil protection, so the government is «providing the response» to the electrical outage that affected Spain in these territories.
Specifically, as confirmed by the President of the Government, these are the communities of Andalucía, Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, Murcia, and the Valencian Community, which agreed to this request.
The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has taken on the national emergency competence in the aforementioned communities, which was previously requested as a result of the electrical outage.
According to the order from the Ministry of the Interior, accessed by Europa Press, it is up to the Minister to «direct the Emergency, which will include the organization and coordination of actions and the management of all state, autonomous, and local resources in the affected territorial area, in accordance with Article 30 of Law 17/2015, of July 9.»
The Interior explains that the National Civil Protection System establishes that there are emergencies of national interest, among others, «those in which it is necessary to coordinate the different public administrations because they affect several autonomous communities and require a contribution of resources at a supra-autonomous level,» as well as those that are due to their effective dimensions.
Furthermore, the same order states that «depending on the seriousness of the situation, it may be necessary to collaborate with different public administrations that have mobilizable resources, even if the emergency does not affect their territory.»
The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, was one of the first to declare the emergency situations of national interest in the evolution and consequences of the electrical outage.
Specifically, she asked the government of Pedro Sánchez to activate National Emergency Plan 3 and involve the Army to ensure security after the widespread outage that affected the entire country and caused significant mobility issues in the capital.
The President of Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, also called for national emergency to strengthen coordination in the region after hours of outage. In a subsequent statement, the Andalusian leader justified this decision, as this situation exceeds the competencies of the Regional Government.
His counterpart in Murcia, María Guardiola, emphasized the need for national emergency that «requires state coordination.» «A coordinated response from the country is needed,» said the political leader.
Additionally, the President of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, reiterated the need to «respond to the situation accordingly,» so he requested national emergency in his region and provided «information to the autonomous communities to address the situation.»
On Monday night, the President of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Ruda, also joined the national emergency request, highlighting that essential facilities like hospitals «are still operational due to generators.»
Furthermore, the Valencian government agreed in the Plenary of the Convell to ask the government for the declaration of national emergency throughout the Valencian Community. «Given the situation affecting all autonomous communities and to ensure the best coordination of all,» explained President Carlos Mazón in a message on social media.
Finally, the President of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García Page, also requested level 3 of emergency situations. «We continue working to recover normalcy as soon as possible,» he said, becoming the first regional socialist leader to make this request.
