The European Commission is consulting Member States on a temporary aid framework for sectors exposed to the Middle East crisis, with the aim of adopting it before the end of April. Industry is not asking only for subsidies. It is asking for predictab [...]
Of the 6,102 electrical substations analyzed across the country, 3,387 are located in municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, representing 55.5% of the total, according to the latest analysis by Foro Industria y Energía (FIE) and Opina 360 [...]
Royal Decree-Law 7/2026 sets out general guidelines, but does not translate them into operational criteria. The debate is not whether there should be public intervention, but how it is articulated with clarity, predictability and consistency with ind [...]
