It should be going around in Vienna from Monday: climate activists around the organization Last Generation are planning “a wave” of disruptive actions. The federal capital must be “paralyzed” for seven days. The police in Vienna are on alert.
Last week, activist Florian Wagner of the last generation announced to the “Krone”: “Of course we will continue. Unfortunately, we have no other choice.” So it’s probably a matter of staying calm and planning more time in traffic jams in the morning. This is especially true for commuters.
keep your nerves
“Prepare for possible traffic jams and delays with a sufficiently full tank, possibly food and when you take the children to school or kindergarten, with distractions. Your favorite CD or USB stick with your favorite songs usually helps to calm your nerves,” recommends Thomas Haider from the ARBÖ information service.
On the ARBÖ website, for example, you can inform yourself about the current traffic situation before departure, so that you can prevent any disruptions in good time.
use public transport
Switching to public transport next week may also be faster (and also more environmentally friendly) than driving into the city. Anyone who has the option to work from home can also counter the stress in the morning and save time.
More than 100 police officers on duty
Preparations are being made to avoid traffic jams. “More than 100 additional police officers will be deployed, both in uniform and plainclothes. These ensure that blockades are lifted as quickly as possible,” said police spokesman Markus Dittrich.
For tactical reasons, the police do not want to go into more precise precautions. The scene is closely watched.
Stuck on the street
“The climate catastrophe is a fact. That is why we are in hopeful, peaceful resistance,” declares the last generation. The focus of the seven-day climate campaign is on sticking to different lanes to paralyze early traffic as much as possible.
The activists have been sticking to the roads for about a year, especially in Vienna, but also in Graz, Linz and Innsbruck. There were actions in Vienna on the Gurtel, on the Ring and on the Praterstern.
