Habemus lux

After a total power outage in Spain, Portugal and southern France, which did not affect Andorra for more than 15 hours, normality is being restored.

The chaos was evident in the railway and subway stations. The UME arrived to mobilize various troops and rescue more than 30,000 travelers who had been stopped between different stations enabling numerous buses.

Air services were much less affected. 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.

Schools in ten communities have suspended classes allowing access to classrooms: Galicia, Aragon, Madrid, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja, Murcia, Valencia.

This first event on the peninsula has rekindled purchases of analog radios, batteries, candles and flashlights. With all its good and bad anecdotes. As the rest of screens and cell phones in addition to the wonderful view of the night sky as from the most bustling cities usually do not have the opportunity to appreciate so many constellations and stars due to light pollution or the long wait of travelers without being able to communicate.
