Fourth day, fourth pasting by activists of the last generation: Once again early traffic in Vienna was blocked by protesters, this time at Linke Wienzeile. The demonstrators strongly criticized the actions of the police on Thursday. According to the tenor, all the rules were overlooked.
“I am stunned that the police are breaking all the rules today,” said activist Katharina Geistlinger. “The glue was already hard. They dragged me off the street without ending the meeting first,” Geistlinger said. “We were not given time to leave the municipality,” she continued.
The glue must not have come loose
Recent generation videos show officers snatching Geistlinger from a hideout. After a cry of pain, the officers released the 38-year-old on the video recordings. After the operation, Geistlinger showed her hand, which contained remnants of the road surface, and also reported on another case. Police allegedly pulled another man from the protective pad without loosening the glue first. She is now considering filing a police report.
“We are disappointed in the police. So far the officials have followed the rules, but not this time,” spokesman Florian Wagner emphasized in an official statement. That’s “not okay”. Postscript: “But that won’t stop us.”
The police are investigating the allegations
According to police, the protests at the two locations ended around 8:45 a.m. “All persons involved in the criminal act have been arrested,” said spokeswoman Barbara Gass. The State Police Directorate did not respond to last generation’s allegations in the morning. They wanted to check the allegations first, it said.
ÖAMTC encourages referendum on Tempo 100
According to the ÖAMTC, there was mainly traffic disruption between the Stadthalle and Matzleinsdorfer Platz and Linke Wienzeile. According to the traffic experts, the traffic jam on the belt was sometimes about four kilometers long. The automobile club also attracted attention on Thursday with the demand for a referendum.
“We can well imagine asking the Austrians whether they support a further reduction of the legal speed limit or not. Because lower speed limits only make sense if they are supported by the majority. After all, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of road cannot be permanently monitored by the police Bernhard Wiesinger, head of the ÖAMTC advocacy group, said in a broadcast.
