Anyway, government denies that a risk of total blackout had been highlighted on any report.

 You trust your government *not* to lie about such things? How quaint!!

Not really. I distrust all, and I distrust more the opposition from the right wingers :-)

 It conflicts with this popular media source and other tech sources:
 https://www.surinenglish.com/spain/the-government-known-since-january- from-red-20250506082807-nt.html
 Only the date when they were warned varies with the source.

You have to notice the wording. The government does not deny warnings; they deny having received a warning of a total zero. The minister actually stressed this point in the speech.
The government, being left wing, will naturally not trust a warning coming from right wing sources that goes against renewables or in favour of nuclear, as biased and interested.
