In any case, the Directorate General for Consumer Affairs has reminded consumers affected by the electricity blackout that they can claim reimbursement of air, boat, train or bus tickets or an alternative trip within the period indicated for each case, as well as unused mobile data and tickets for cancelled events.
It has also been contemplated that the deadlines for judicial processes and other official bodies to present documentation will be extended by 24 hours in addition to those of the computation that corresponded to them by law.
The causes of the total power outage have not yet been reliably clarified and the theories about whether it was a cyber attack, a failure of the electric company or other reasons have not yet been fully validated, while the National Court has opened a file to find out if the power failure was due to sabotage.

That he was to be buried in the ground of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary and to whose Basilica he went to pray before and after each international trip. Between the Pauline Chapel (Chapel of the Salus Populi Romani) and the Sforza Chapel. He was buried in a single wooden coffin with a zinc interior. No catafalque or papal crosier, and his coffin will remain open and can be visited by the faithful who wish to say goodbye until Friday. This Saturday 26th the funeral will be held at 10:00 am.
Pope Francis' apartment in the Santa Marta residence where he lived, instead of the Apostolic Palace, has been sealed. Francis Pope was a lover of poetry, tango, mate and follower of the San Lorenzo club.
All offices cease except that of Cardinal Camerlengo, Kevin Farrell, who carried out the certification of his death and began the vacant see, taking command of the Vatican and destroying the ring of Pescador. Giving place to the funeral.
