“Sneak away from the demo!” A demonstrator at the Academic Ball tried to threaten the “Krone” reporting team with insults. The mood was so heated on Friday evening that the man attacked a video camera during the final meeting on Stephansplatz in Vienna.
When the “Krone” reporting team captured cross-sectional images, one demo participant apparently felt persecuted. He turned to the camera and tried to hit her. “Don’t film me!” shouted the angry protester. A reporter had to intervene.
He tried to defuse the situation and asked for calm. Reason enough for another hooded protester to ask journalists to “sneak out” of the demonstration.
Masked people played a cat-and-mouse game with the police
The “Krone” ended the recording at this point, but was not discouraged in further reporting and later accompanied a masked group in their cat and mouse game with the police, away from the forbidden area, namely behind the city. hall. Dressed entirely in black, the demonstrators lit Bengal fire and blocked the Landesgerichtstrasse with their spontaneous march.
A reporter from “Krone” who was on the scene: “We are shocked that our work to document rallies is being made more difficult by individual protesters who believe it is legitimate to attack and intimidate journalists just because we are doing our job. ”
According to a press release from the Viennese director, the evening was “peaceful and there were no major incidents.” There were only “some identity determinations”.
