New week, new sticker campaigns in Vienna: On Monday, the latest generation of climate stickers made themselves felt again in early traffic. This time they opted for several locations at the same time, such as the Döblinger Gurtel and the Praterstern – again traffic jams resulted. They also draw attention to the climate crisis on the Praterbrücke (A23) and demand a speed limit of 100 km/h.
In the second week of the protest, several participants took to the streets of Vienna at 8 a.m. with banners (“We’re racing into climate hell!”) and have since blocked traffic to draw attention to the climate crisis. The glue has been used again. The traffic chaos on the Vienna Belt has already led to traffic jams. Several protesters also gathered on the protective trails near the Praterstern.
The roads have already been largely rerouted by officials. Still, there are currently early traffic delays – including angry reactions from drivers. “For a second week we have been putting our bodies in the way of traffic because our future is at stake,” the climate activists tweeted on social media.
After the blockades in the previous week, such as at the Naschmarkt on Monday, in front of Schloss Schönbrunn on Tuesday, parts of the belt on Wednesday and other disruptive actions on Thursday and Friday, lectures were held only on weekends.
Tempo 100 as an immediate measure
In early February, climate activists of the last generation announced a second wave of disturbances across Vienna to draw attention to the current climate crisis. The protest is expected to last two weeks.
Accept fines
The activists of the last generation are calling for a “radical rethink” of the climate crisis. To draw attention to this, they use radical forms of protest, such as sticking to the street or dousing famous paintings with paint or soup. They also accept sanctions for this.
