The CIS conducted a flash survey on the April 28th power outage among residents of Spain, except for Ceuta, Melilla, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands, which were not affected by it. 52.4% of respondents said they were affected "a lot or quite a bit" by the blackout, 46.2% "a little or not at all," and 1.4% said they were affected "fairly." When asked if the blackout caused them fear, 78% said no, while 21.5% admitted they did. Women, at 29.1%, felt more fear than men, at 13.5%. And by age, those most afraid were those between 25 and 34 years old (31.6%) and those between 18 and 24 years old (25.3%). What was missed during the blackout What citizens missed most during the blackout was, firstly, the lack of electricity in their homes to perform different tasks such as cooking, keeping medicines or food in the refrigerator (62.1%), secondly, the phones not working (55.5%), and 26.3% say that what they missed most was the internet not working. Radio as a source of information 49.6% of citizens say they had a battery-powered radio before the blackout that allowed them to listen to the news; 3.3% say they bought one on the 28th or borrowed one; and 46.8% say they didn't have one. Regardless of whether or not they had a radio, 62.1% of respondents admitted they listened to the radio during that day to stay up-to-date on current events. Conversely, 37.9% said they hadn't. Regarding the amount of time they spent listening to the radio, 34.3% of respondents said they listened for an hour or less; 33% said they listened virtually the entire time until the power was restored; 16.5% said they listened for between 2 and 4 hours; and 15.9% said they listened for between 1 and 2 hours. Furthermore, 58.1% say they listened to only one radio station, and 41.5% say they switched stations. According to those surveyed, the most-listened-to station was Radio Nacional (21.3%), followed by Cadena SER (16.7%), and COPE (14.5%). 89.2% of citizens rate the information received from the radio station they listened to on April 28th very positively, while 7.2% rate it as "poor or very poor." Solidarity during the blackout 88.2% rated the behavior of their neighbors and the people they encountered during the blackout as "very good or good." Only 3.8% rated it as "bad or very bad." Regarding the information provided by the Spanish Government on April 28, 28.4% believe it was sufficient, 59.6% believe it was insufficient, and 8.2% say they cannot assess it. Among those who believe the Spanish government's information was insufficient, 38.4% say they needed "more information about the causes of the blackout," 26.3% say they needed "more information about when the power supply would be restored," and 24.1% say they needed "greater speed" in their appearance. Causes of the blackout 46.2% believe the cause of the blackout was an accident or failure in the electrical system, while 26.6% attribute it to a deliberate act, such as a cyberattack. In addition, 41.6% reported missing something or something in their homes during the power outage.

Prevention 44.2% say that modernizing the electricity grid would be key to preventing another blackout of this type, 41.7% believe more investment should be made in critical infrastructure such as networks, electricity, and mobility, and 32.6% say increasing the number of generators installed in public entities and services is essential. 49.3% of respondents believe it is neither necessary nor advisable to create a Ministry to deal with emergencies that may arise.

José Félix Tezanos, who inaugurated a course on inequalities in today's world this Monday at the Magdalena Palace, asserted that "if the problem of inequality is not addressed promptly and with social policies, the world is heading toward an unlivable future." Furthermore, the president of the CIS has warned that inequalities are "skyrocketing and increasing more than would be natural" and will be exacerbated by the current government of the wealthy in the United States. On this subject, he criticized the US for cutting off all development aid and assistance to address extreme needs, ending social assistance in his country. Also speaking today was Edmund Valpy Fitzgerald, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Oxford, who gave a presentation focusing on inequality and taxation. In the afternoon, a roundtable discussion on inequalities in the era of globalization was held, with the participation of Tezanos, Fitzgerald, and sociology professor Óscar Iglesias.
