French authorities are probing a suspected arson incident believed to be the primary reason behind a significant power outage that affected the Alpes-Maritimes region in southern France, including Cannes, which is currently hosting its iconic annual film festival.
A spokesperson from the French national gendarmerie mentioned, “We are examining the possibility that a fire was intentionally set,” and noted that no arrests have been made thus far.
Earlier on Saturday, local officials reported that the western part of the Alpes-Maritimes region, which encompasses Cannes, was experiencing a major electricity outage while RTE France was actively working to restore power.
Despite the outage, the Cannes Film Festival confirmed that the closing ceremony would proceed as planned on Saturday evening.
“The Palais des Festivals has activated an independent power supply, ensuring that all scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, will continue as originally scheduled under normal conditions,” the festival stated in a release.
