This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In an interview with the Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung, he noted that the government of the federal state where this incident occurred adheres to a similar point of view.

Scholz called for expanding the work of the Tesla plant in Germany, as well as identifying those responsible for the arson and bringing them to justice.

The incident in question occurred on March 5th. As a result of the arson of a substation by environmental activists, the Tesla plant, as well as the city of Erkner and two districts of Berlin were cut off.
