A drag queen reads stories to children. Right and left extremists march against each other in front of the building. The police have not yet finalized their operational plans. Is the violence escalating?
That could be a “hot” Sunday in Vienna-Mariahilf. Right-wing and left-wing extremist groups march in front of the turquoise-pink-purple villa at Linke Wienzeile 102. Occasion: In the (queer) house, a drag queen pulls off her show with a lecture for children under the age of twelve.
The waves have been rising on social media for days. Conservative and right-wing groups are concerned about the protection of minors (keyword: early sexualization, contamination with ‘being different’) and have called for a demonstration. A left-wing alliance from different areas is mobilizing for counter-action and wants to erect a kind of ‘protective wall’ around the building. Because no official protection zone has been imposed so far, which the SPÖ and the Greens criticize.
“So far it is not clear how the police want to ensure that children and their families can come to and from this lecture undisturbed and safely,” said Katharina Schöll, spokeswoman for the Greens Andersrum.
The police are working on a deployment plan
The police are currently working intensively on operational planning. The draft is not yet final, explains a spokesman for the executive branch when asked by “Krone”.
It cannot be ruled out that violent demonstrators will mingle with the peaceful participants. A collision of blocks can quickly lead to an unwanted escalation. It is also unclear whether violent troublemakers from abroad, who are only out to riot, arrive.
