Spain’s a disaster under these socialist leaders. They’ve got chaos, power outages, and no real solutions.

A serious situation is developing across Spain and Portugal. Swift coordination and clear communication will be critical as authorities work to restore stability and determine the cause

🚨 BLACKOUT CHAOS: SPAIN, PORTUGAL — AND NOW PARTS OF FRANCE AND BELGIUM What started as a blackout in Spain and Portugal just got bigger — now parts of France, Belgium, and even tiny Andorra are getting hit too. Trains stopped, traffic lights failed, and phones cut out — causing plenty of real-world panic. The cause? Still unclear. Some say it’s a European grid fail, others blame a fire in southern France that fried a major power line. Source: Bloomberg, Euronews

This is what a power outage in Europe looks like: subways and airports are down, and the streets are in chaos. According to the latest information, the power outage affected not only Spain and Portugal, but also parts of France, the Netherlands, and Belgium. What exactly happened is still unknown. Not all countries have confirmed this. There are initial suspicions of a cyberattack.

❗️⚡️🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷🇦🇩 - On April 28, 2025, a significant power outage continues to affect Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and parts of France, with no immediate resolution in sight. The blackout has disrupted electricity supply in major cities, including Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, as well as communication networks, impacting internet and mobile services across the affected regions. Government authorities have not yet issued an official statement, though Spain’s Ministry of the Interior has urged the public to remain calm while investigations are underway. Preliminary reports suggest the outage may stem from a failure in the interconnected European power grid, potentially exacerbated by recent high demand and integration challenges with renewable energy sources. Energy experts note that the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) is working to stabilize the grid and restore full service. Social media reports indicate growing public concern, with users highlighting disruptions to daily activities and businesses. Authorities are prioritizing critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and emergency services, to mitigate the impact while a coordinated response is developed.

The latest news about power outages in Spain and Portugal. Friends from these countries, how are you doing? Do you have electricity? I've read some reports in the media that it's pure chaos. Others say it's a great chance to unwind and relax. How is it for you? What is the public opinion about the causes? ◾️ Flights at major airports and trains in the region were delayed or canceled. ◾️ Spanish electricity provider Red Electrica said restoring power in the country could take between 6 to 10 hours, adding that "gradual restoration" is underway. As of now, voltage has already been recovered in some areas, the grid operator announced. Medium- and long-distance trains will likely not resume service until tomorrow. ◾️ Portuguese grid operator REN claimed the outage was caused by a fault in the Spanish electricity grid, related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon," and given the complexity of the issue, it could take up to a week for the network to fully normalize again. ◾️ During the news conference, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez said the cause of the power cut is still unknown and warned against speculation. He urged the public to only use phones for brief calls and necessary communication.

🇪🇸⚡️- Ceuta locals and its government are demanding Madrid to declare city-wide emergency after thousands of young Moroccan males invaded the Spanish enclave in a single day. Italy has called for EU-wide travel restrictions on Spain, as the government in Madrid continues to allow the illegals entry. Most of the Moroccans will probably head on towards other cities in Europe, where they'll likely join their 'King' Mohammed VI who regularly roams the streets of Paris drunk.

🇺🇸 AI IS PUSHING AMERICA’S POWER GRID TO THE BRINK - TRUMP ADMIN SAYS IT’S GO TIME The U.S. power grid - built for a world of lightbulbs and radios - is now being asked to power AI data centers, electrified factories, and a surging high-tech economy. And it’s not ready yet. At the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, Trump, his Cabinet, and energy leaders declared the grid crisis urgent. They're calling for a national overhaul as AI threatens to double electricity demand in the coming decades. Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "The grid we have today wasn’t built for the world we’re entering. We need a grid that grows with the economy, not one that holds it back." Source: Fox News

🚨 EUROPE BREAKS RANKS — SPANISH MEP GOES SCORCHED EARTH Hermann Tertsch just said what millions across Europe are thinking — out loud. Responding to attacks and threats aimed at Elon Musk, the Spanish Member of the European Parliament delivered a blistering indictment of Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez: “Elon Musk is absolutely right. Pedro Sánchez is a traitor to Spain and the most corrupt leader Spain has ever had.” Tertsch didn’t hedge. He didn’t soften the language. He accused Sánchez of systemic corruption, rotten international alliances, and weaponising state power to silence dissent — especially on platforms Sánchez cannot control. According to Tertsch, this is the real reason Sánchez wants to clamp down on X and independent digital platforms: Newspapers bought Television captured Radio groups aligned And now… the last free networks targeted Why? Because the truth travels faster than censorship. This isn’t just about Spain. It’s about Europe’s ruling class panicking as narrative control collapses. When leaders try to shut down speech instead of answering allegations, the message is clear: they fear exposure. One thing is certain — free speech is no longer a left–right issue in Europe. It’s citizens vs. captured power. And voices like Tertsch’s are making sure that fight is happening in the open. Hermann Tertsch Elon Musk

🇱🇹 Lithuania is facing a full-blown waste crisis: Vilnius is quite literally drowning in garbage The Prime Minister has called an emergency meeting, saying the situation has become so serious that it can no longer be managed without government intervention. If the companies responsible for waste collection and processing fail to reach an agreement, Lithuania could declare a state of emergency as early as Wednesday. The crisis began last year after a fire damaged Vilnius' main waste-sorting plant. The facility is still not fully operational, and waste continues to accumulate across the city. Environmental experts are raising concerns, while Vilnius Mayor has warned that another fire is possible. Firefighters are now on duty at the site 24 hours a day. Authorities are urgently looking for solutions. Some of the waste is being burned at a waste-to-energy plant, while the rest is being sent to other cities for processing.

We’ve got over 130,000 people who are homeless in Australia, yet the Labor Government continue to preside over mass migration like the country has never known. In Albo’s time as PM, a population the size of Adelaide has been added to the country. This is having a direct bearing on our housing crisis and why homelessness rates are growing. Labor’s shameful record is something they do their best to hide. Not anymore!

While the world has been rightfully focused on the war with Iran and its implications, Hamas in Gaza continues to re-establish its complete and firm grip on power, control, and all aspects of life in the destroyed, shrunken, and besieged coastal enclave. Inside the “red zone” that the terror organization controls, there are dozens of checkpoints set up by Hamas’s governmental police, as well as the group’s al-Qassam Brigades – covering the entirety of the Strip’s north-to-south travel axes. Whatever the Board of Peace and its executive committee and the technocratic committee of Palestinians (NCAG) had planned, it’s hard to imagine anything dislodging Hamas’s firm fascist and violent grip on 2 million people in Gaza. While Hamas is severely weakened and a mere shell of its former self, it still has access to sprawling tunnels, and it has reorganized & re-established its hierarchical structures. Hamas has millions of civilians to use as perpetual human shields in a Jihadi, suicidal project that is willing to finish Gaza off, not unlike Hitler’s last stand in Berlin in 1945, when the Soviets wiped out the city to end the Third Reich. The war with Iran has served Hamas in Gaza by reducing international focus and scrutiny on its growing and expanding influence and control.

The mood in Barcelona has shifted from chants and banners to bricks and broken glass. And it's not just Spain; Italy saw much of the same yesterday, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets of over 100 towns to protest for Gaza.

Europe faces a double whammy of flooding and wildfires While some parts of Europe are experiencing devastating flooding, other areas are battling raging wildfires. The situation is particularly dire in the Aveiro area of Portugal, where a massive wildfire has been burning for days. The smoke from the fire is visible for hundreds of kilometers away, and over 1,000 firefighters are currently working to contain the blaze. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the area is experiencing a severe drought, which is making the fire spread quickly. Officials are urging residents to evacuate the area and are warning that the fire could pose a serious threat to life and property. might find interesting: * The fire has burned over 10,000 hectares of land. * The fire is being fought by firefighters from Portugal, Spain, and France. * The Portuguese government has declared a state of emergency in the affected area.

The fridge is on, but there’s no one home.😡 The CSO in Q4 2024 has classified 70,149 dwellings (including holiday homes) as vacant, based on low electricity consumption of around 2 kWh per day (enough to power a medium-sized fridge for a day). It’s crazy that this is tolerated in the middle of a housing crisis, with yet another record of over 17,308 people in emergency accommodation last month, including 5,457 children. Plus, the Simon Community estimate as many as 290,000 people in Ireland are likely to be experiencing hidden homelessness, as friends or family are increasingly relied upon to provide accommodation for others. Hidden homelessness refers to individuals without a secure, permanent home who are not visible on the streets or in official statistics, often "couch-surfing," sharing overcrowded housing, or staying in squats. This is not normal and cannot be accepted. We need urgent action to prevent evictions and expand housing supply, and we can start by utilising these vacant houses. After all, it was called a 'national emergency' by Leo Varadkar back in 2018, when the homeless figure was 10,000. #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #Ireland
