Next day, next action: On Sunday, about 40 people from the alliance “BlockGas” blocked access to the private jet terminal at Vienna Airport. According to a broadcast, the activists wanted to draw attention to both the climate crisis and the increasing poverty in Austria due to the high energy costs. On Saturday, activists had colored all the water in the Danube Canal green and made a bridge impassable for traffic.
As lobbyists, investors and executives “travel to the gas conference by private jets, countless people have froze this winter and can no longer afford their gas bills, not just in Vienna,” BlockGas said of the move on Sunday.
Protests from environmental activists are also expected in the coming days. The European Gas Conference (EGC) takes place in Vienna from Monday to Wednesday.
