14.05.2025 ⇢ Day of Leaked Messages and Blackout Origins
⌨The morning began with a heated parliamentary session where leaked WhatsApp messages between PM Sánchez and former minister Ábalos dominated discussion.

By midday, Energy Secretary Aagesen confirmed the nationwide blackout originated in Granada, Sevilla, and Badajoz provinces, definitively ruling out a cyberattack on Red Eléctrica while acknowledging voltage spikes preceded the cascade failure.

International news featured Israel summoning Spain's ambassador after Sánchez called it a "genocidal state" amid reports of 80 Palestinians killed in Gaza. Putin declined to personally attend upcoming peace talks in Turkey, sending lower-level officials instead.
