The decree drawn up by Pedro Sánchez's governmentto strengthen the electricity system and prevent blackouts will not go aheadbecause the measure will not get enough support in this afternoon's vote in Congress. Podemos, Juntsand BNG, three of their members for the investiture of the Spanish Government, have advanced that they will vote against and the PPand VOXdeputies will vote against.

The Group of the European People's Party ( Christian Democrats) and European Democrats has expressed their disagreement with the reference to the blackout in the text and criticised the fact thatafter Spain ran out of electricity for 24 hours on 28 April there was no single resignation or dismissal ere.

With regard to other issues covered by the text, the PP considers that its content is incomplete , which is why theparty of Alberto Núñez Feijóo has advanced that it will submit to Congress, in coordination with the Autonomous Communities, a proposal for a law to guarantee investments in energy.
