On March 5, previously unknown perpetrators set fire to an electricity pylon in a field that is part of the power supply for the electric car factory in Grünheide near Berlin. Production came to a standstill for almost a week. The left-wing extremist “Vulkan Group” had declared that it was responsible for the attack.
