After rooms at the universities of Vienna, Innsbruck and Salzburg, climate activists have also occupied a lecture hall at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Boku). Lecture room 1 was occupied around 11:30 a.m., the university reports.
The university management would like to talk to the students and a panel discussion with researchers and the Vice Rector for Education has been planned for the afternoon at the initiative of the student union.
The squatters of the group “Erde brennt” are calling for a “radical system change to overcome the social crisis, the crisis in the education sector and the climate crisis”. In concrete terms, more money is needed for universities, the end of fossil fuels and a tax on wealth and excess profits. Due to the current situation, solidarity was also shown with the striking railway workers.
Several lecture halls in the country are occupied
Lecture hall C1 of the University of Vienna is also still occupied, where 30 to 50 people have been holding the fort for almost two weeks – more people are also dropping by at various events. At the University of Salzburg, too, a hard core of about 15 students holds their own in the university’s seminar rooms.
