“At first, it was an adventure. Now, the cold has arrived, and police are patrolling the area.” That’s how one Berliner described what life has been like without electricity since Saturday; on Monday night, temperatures dipped to -7°C. At the weekend, an arson attack on the grid which supplies some of the wealthiest districts of the German capital cut power to around 45,000 people and over 2,200 businesses. Left-wing militants have claimed responsibility, yet public responses have been remarkably muted. The authorities would do well to shift gear, given that the disruptive effects of such incidents extend far beyond those directly affected. Germany should start taking Left-wing terror as seriously as it does threats from the Right.
