Far left extremists are claiming responsibility for a major attack on a power supply hub providing power to southeast Berlin, which led to a blackout that left 50,000 people without power, the biggest blackout in Berlin since the Cold War.
The damage has been so severe that authorities are reporting it may take until 2026 to fully make repairs, according to Tagesspiegel.
A letter of responsibility was published on Indymedia, a website where many leftist groups publish such letters following attacks.
Berlin’s interior senator, Iris Spranger (SPD), said the letter was authentic. In fact, the letter has many similarities to another letter published in February following a similar arson attack near the Tesla car factory in Grünheide near Berlin, which also led to a major loss of power in Berlin.
“We assume the group of perpetrators is from the left-wing extremist spectrum,” said the Interior Senator. “So that means: not from abroad, but from within the country.“
German media and authorities are indicating that the perpetrators conducted the attacks with a high degree of professionalism.

The power outage has proven extremely difficult to repair.
Spranger implied that the attacks, which cut power to thousands of homes, led to deaths; however, it is unclear what she is referring to. She said the perpetrators accepted the deaths of people as “collateral damage”
“No one should accept the death of people. And we all have to face it together,” she said.
Except the country's ruling elite.
They never face hardship.
And in Germany, if your political party is not “Far Left” then it is necessarily seen as “Far Right Extremism” and it gets outlawed.
Let me guess.....the German Establishment will blame the AfD even though leftists admit they did it.
aka domestic enemies.
Sure. And I am truly sorry that the Lazis, as I call them (but they call us N.zis indiscriminately, so I think that’s a fair deal) over here are, alas, every bit as nutty as their counterparts in the USA and elsewhere😞
I am truly sorry that we Germans are not the only ones to have this problem.
May we overcome. So help us God.🇺🇸🇩🇪
Their timing is in coordination with the Russian military build up along the Polish border. These communist sleeper cells and the millions of Muslim invaders will join the Russian invasion of Eastern Europe once the order is given.
We live in interesting times.
Zero factual evidence that lefty-group did the action...other than a claim on some site. Police have almost nothing put a lead on.
If you asked....could be any one of a thousand-odd parties (to include Ukraine, Russia).
One thing that seems obvious...they knew this power site was a problem with no back-up situation. Almost 60 hours of power-loss? I’d be looking at disgruntled power company employees.
Russia, China, North Korea. All totalitarian regimes (despite the end of the USSR Russia still is, just looks a little different).
Much of what we are dealing with now is the result of Western ‘progressivism’ and feckless politicians.
It will take until 2026 to replace two pylons???
Terrorists
That’s what I thought.
After one of the Houston hurricanes the high voltage pylons took a couple of months to replace.
It’s only a few months of the German winter.
“Far left!” The drinking game where everyone stays sober.
Unfortunately, this sort of crap is going to lead to a “surveillance society” like South Korea, except in the future, expect a great deal of it may be with drones.
Well, EU and German regulations will have to be observed...
