This collection of text features a main article titled "Cuando todo se apaga: la fragilidad de las infraestructuras críticas y la urgencia de los planes de contingencia" by Enrique Dans, along with numerous reader comments.

The core of the discussion revolves around a massive power outage that occurred in Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, highlighting the fragility of critical infrastructure like electricity, transportation, and communication.

Dans argues for the urgent need for robust contingency plans to mitigate the widespread disruption and societal vulnerability revealed by the event.

The comments section showcases a range of reactions and theories, debating the cause of the blackout (from technical failures and cyberattacks to the impact of renewable energy and political mismanagement) and discussing personal preparedness for such incidents.
