On July 10, the climate activists will begin the next wave of blockades in Vienna. They bet on the wrong horse. Leading political and public opinion researchers analyze why blocking major thoroughfares cannot bring success. And how the eco-glues themselves react to it.
Morning traffic sinks into the deliberately created traffic jam. In Vienna and other cities this is almost a familiar sight. Yet the climate stickers do not pass any of their demands. Why? Environmentalists of the 1970s and 1980s occupied alluvial forests and railroad tracks. Their message was: “We are fighting evil companies that are poisoning your environment,” says pollster Peter Hajek. However, today’s roadblocks would send people the message, “You are the problem.” A serious strategic mistake, according to Hajek.
