Unexpected interruption on Tuesday in the Vienna Chamber of Commerce: climate activists stormed the stage during a press conference, interrupted WKO chairman Harald Mahrer and then spoke themselves.
The Chamber of Commerce has even discussed the supply of heat from renewable energy sources. There was an interruption during the speech. Activist Lena Schilling and several other activists took the stage. Criticism followed about the “WKO lobby for fossil energy” and the “hypocritical greenwashing by these types of events”.
In addition, WKO activists gave “substantial complicity” to Austria’s dependence on Russian gas and oil and called for a social energy and climate policy. There was also criticism of Mahrer. “Mr. Mahrer, you have a historic responsibility and you have not taken it up to now,” Schilling criticized. That has to change.
Mahrer responded, thanking him for speaking up and explaining, “We are for diversity of opinion.”
