Berlin blackout – screengrab/social media X
German establishment persecutes rightwing AfD party, but in fact, left-wing radical groups are the threat to the country.
For the second time, an arson attack claimed by a left-wing extremist group has brought chaos to the German capital, Berlin.
For several days now, the sabotage has left tens of thousands of residents without heat or electricity in the winter’s chilliest period.
CBS News reported:
“The Saturday morning arson attack on critical electricity infrastructure in southwest Berlin cut power to nearly 50,000 homes and businesses, and renewed scrutiny of a long-running sabotage campaign by the left-wing ‘Vulkangruppe’.
The group claimed responsibility for the fire, which destroyed several high-voltage cables near the Lichterfelde heat and power station and triggered one of the most severe blackouts the capital has experienced in years.”

As many as 45,000 households have lost power, and more than 2,000 businesses have been affected across the four districts in south Berlin.
“The power outage also meant many homes lost heating and hot water as temperatures dropped well below freezing in Berlin.
While engineers restored power to parts of the network by Monday, about 30,000 households were still offline as technicians struggled to replace damaged underground cables buried in the frozen soil. The power operator said it didn’t expect to have electricity fully restored until Thursday.”

The Vulkangruppe deliberately targeted affluent neighborhoods, to ‘cut the juice to the ruling class’.
Deutsche Welle reported:
“Some 14,000 of the 45,000 households initially affected have had their power restored, but provider Stromnetz Berlin said it might take until Thursday for complete coverage to return.
Some schools and kindergartens in the area remained closed on what is the first school day after the Christmas holidays.
Hospitals used emergency generators to be able to continue operations and have since seen their power restored, but many care homes remain affected.”
