The next action of the last generation is not long in coming. But unlike the past two weeks, they are not going out to stop traffic. Due to the rain, a pasting action is not possible. That is why they demonstrate and hand out money forms on Mariahilfer Strasse and at the Schottentor. Your message remains the same in the third and final week of protests: 100 highway speed limit and a new climate protection law.
There was no delay in morning traffic on Wednesday. Due to the bad weather, the demonstrators did not stick to the streets of Vienna until now. The replacement program: demonstrating and recruiting new people. Passers-by are reminded of the campaign of the last generation on Mariahilfer Strasse and Schottentor.
The activists also brought some variety to their “wave of interference” on Tuesday when they did not stay on the streets of Vienna at 8 a.m. as usual, but demonstrated for the first time near Heldenplatz at 8:45 a.m. They wanted to take their concerns directly to the government, according to Last Generation Austria. Then the protest continued on the Wiener Ring, where they once again held onto the streets and caused traffic to slow down. Around 10 a.m., the police lifted the blockade on the ring.
Protest in front of Schwarzenegger’s summit
The place and time for the protest were deliberately chosen because Arnold Schwarzenegger’s protest entitled “Austrian World Summit” started on Tuesday. The ex-politician’s event has the motto “We have the power” and aims to show solutions for the current climate crisis.
„Austrian World Summit“ bloß Greenwashing?
While the politicians approve of the protest action, it is viewed extremely critically by the last generation. Schwarzenegger’s summit, for example, caused a heated uproar and is now controversial among environmental NGOs. The climate stickers accuse the event of some greenwashing.
