Once again, the climate activists of the last generation drew attention to the climate crisis by clinging to the streets of Vienna on Wednesday morning and bringing their “Maiwelle” to a halt to morning traffic. Their demand: 100 km/h on Austrian roads and a ban on fracking. This time, the Praterstern and the scatter circle are hit.
At 8 a.m., several participants took to the streets around Praterstrasse and the roundabout with banners (“We’re racing into climate hell!”) and blocked early morning traffic. The glue has been used again. To the dismay of many commuters who wanted to get to work on time. The Viennese police are already on duty breaking up the rallies.
Tempo 100 as an immediate measure
In April, climate activists of the last generation announced a new wave of disruption from May 2 in Vienna, which should last at least three weeks. The group spoke of their biggest move to date. Their demands once again: “Yes to 100 km/h on the autobahn, no to fracking in Austria!”
Martha Krumpeck also regularly participates in the protests in Austria. On Tuesday she was released from her two-week detention and a few minutes later clung to the street (Roßauer Lände) again to protest with other activists and disrupt early morning traffic.
Radical forms of protest
To draw attention to the climate crisis, the last generation uses radical forms of protest, such as sticking to the street or pouring soup over well-known photos. They also disrupted the Vienna Marathon this year to draw attention to their demands. They also accept sanctions for this.
