💨 Abstract

An unnamed ultra-left anarchist gang claimed responsibility for a power outage affecting 160,000 homes on the Côte d’Azur, just before the Cannes Film Festival awards. The group said it sabotaged the main electrical substation supplying Cannes and cut down a key power line. Public prosecutors in Grasse and Draguignan are investigating potential sabotage.
