Far-left extremists are believed to have been involved in the sabotage of power lines in the southern commune of Villard-Bonnot that saw over 5,000 people go without power early Tuesday morning.
Over the period from Monday night into Tuesday morning, a total of 5,539 people in Villard-Bonnot were without electricity after nine power lines were allegedly set on fire on the Brignoud bridge, which crosses the Isère river near the city of Grenoble.
It has been suggested the fires may have been a deliberate act of sabotage by far-left extremists, who are also suspected of the arson of another power station in neighbouring Froges the night before. An anarchist symbol was reportedly left at the scene, French newspaper Le Dauphine reports.
A source told the newspaper that they believed the fires in Villard-Bonnot were a continuation of the arson from the previous night.
Businesses have also been affected by the incident, including the French semiconductor company Soitec, which had to temporarily close its factory in the area.
Thomas Piliszczuk, Soitec’s executive vice president for global business, stated that the closure will not have a significant impact on the company, but expressed concern the alleged attacks may be targeting semiconductor companies.
“The incidents of the last two days have occurred outside [semiconductor] companies. Everyone recognizes that we are a strategic industry for the country but we see that today malicious acts, and attacks can target this industry, so we need a collective reflection to achieve the security of the entire supply chain of industrial sites,” he said.
STMicroelectronics, another semiconductor company, was also affected by the alleged acts of sabotage but said they had their power restored on Tuesday and were gradually restarting their facilities.

These clowns need to be exterminated, not coddled. There is a move afoot to put us all into the dark ages, no pun. Don’t mess with them.
How are they supposed to charge their EVs to save the earf with no electricity?
Turning off power at the semiconductor plant, even for second, generally means loosing most work in progress! Huge loss!
“Turning off power at the semiconductor plant, even for second, generally means loosing most work in progress! Huge loss!”
I worked at a plant where that was the case. The electricity was monitored continuously and the moment the power dropped out batteries kicked in as well as a generator that rapidly spun up while the batteries (with appropriate electronics) supported the line. The process took mere seconds and nothing happened to the ongoing production. If there’s the potential for a huge loss and the plant wasn’t protected, well...lesson learned. Hopefully.
Catch them, strip them naked, and drop them deep into the jungle in French Guiana.
Then they will be at one with nature.

ELF.
So radical they got pushed out of CA.
Most went to OR or WA.
.
As part of their sentencing, deny them electricity in prison. No lights or HVAC in their cells nor in any common areas they’re allowed in.
Hey!! I read that book too!
Tom Clancy was a prophet.
He was indeed.
