Climate activists cemented themselves in front of Parliament in Vienna

At 3:30 p.m. activists also made concrete on the Ring Höhe houses of Parliament firmly.

Seven activists were arrested, and another six were arrested after being removed from the road, reported Marina Hagen-Canaval, spokeswoman for the “Last Generation,” to the APA. The fire department helped the police with heavy equipment. As a spokesman for the APA reported, the activists had to be pushed off the road. The ÖAMTC reported in sections “significant delays on the ring and on the two-way line”. However, the traffic jams are now gradually clearing up, a spokesman said.

At the houses of Parliament The so-called ‘future budget’ will be discussed today, it was said by the “Last Generation”. “But we only have a future if politicians finally fulfill their responsibility and implement the Climate Council’s recommendations instead of fantasizing about ‘battery side cutters’ for the police,” said spokeswoman Laila Fuisz.

“We will expand our protests”

In the morning we visited the western entrance, Matzleinsdorfer Platz near Triester Straße and Franz-Josefs-Kai, but also Franzensbrücke, the ring in front of it houses of Parliament and the Linke Wienzeile affected by the blockades. The result was corresponding traffic jams. A spokeswoman for the “Last Generation” reported in response to an APA request that some of the more than 70 members involved on Tuesday were so enthusiastic that they wanted to continue throughout the day.

“We will expand our protests,” said speaker Fusiz about the harsh measures announced by Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) the day before. “I expect Nehammer to take decisive action against the climate crisis. Threatening us with harsher penalties is not effective. If Nehammer finally implements the recommendations of the Climate Council, we will be off the streets immediately.”
