Foul Play Suspected In Cannes Power Outage With Electricity Pylons Sabotaged

French radio network Franceinfo said local police and sources at the Ministry of Interior had informed it that foul play was suspected, with signs that the downed pylons had been sawn.

In Cannes, the power cut briefly interrupted screenings in the Palais des Festival, before a generator kicked in, while a press conference for Kelly Reichardt’s Mastermind continued as normal.
