MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Interior Ministry on Monday declared a state of emergency after a nationwide power blackout hit most of the Iberian Peninsula.
The ministry added the emergency status will be applied in the regions that request it.
So far, Madrid, Andalusia and Extremadura have asked for the central government to take over public order and other functions.
