A widespread power outage affecting southeastern Berlin has prompted a strong condemnation from Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU), who has announced comprehensive consequences in response.
Mayor Wegner stated that the affected residents, including many elderly individuals and families with children, were left without essential services, attributing the situation to the actions of individuals he characterized as left-wing extremists prioritizing ideology over human life. He described the incident as “dehumanizing” and pointed out that it deliberately targeted the most vulnerable members of the community.
Wegner cautioned against minimizing the severity of the event, expressing concern over a perceived reluctance to acknowledge the danger posed by those responsible. He emphasized the need for a serious discussion regarding the potential risks involved. Despite the incident, the Mayor assured the public that the city would not be intimidated and pledged to pursue all necessary measures to hold the perpetrators accountable. The Senate is working diligently to enhance Berlin’s resilience and improve the protection of its energy infrastructure against future attacks.
According to information from “Welt am Sonntag” investigators are now increasingly focusing on possible connections between various groups and the distribution of manifestos. The investigators have noted linguistic similarities and recurring themes, including phrases like “capitalist death machine” the equation of industry with environmental destruction and references to conflicts and projects in Latin America.
