Following major power outages across parts of Spain in early May, public frustration is mounting over the government’s handling of the situation. Citizens have taken to social media and local news outlets to criticize the lack of timely information and the perceived slow response from emergency services.
The blackout affected multiple regions, including parts of Madrid, leaving thousands without electricity for several hours. Residents reported difficulty accessing updates and noted that no clear guidance was issued during the outage.
Officials have yet to provide a full explanation for the disruption, though investigations into the cause are ongoing. Calls for greater transparency and better infrastructure preparedness are growing, as the country faces mounting pressure to modernize its energy response systems.
