The climate activists of ‘Extinction Rebellion Vorarlberg’ demanded that state governor Markus Wallner immediately stop ‘hiding taxpayer money’. This time they expressed their dissatisfaction about the construction of the Feldkirch city tunnel and about the granting of loans to Rene Benko in front of the Hypobank.
On Wednesday the mansion looked like a fortress again. The underground parking garage and the forecourt were closely guarded. Anyone who wanted to enter the mansion had to identify themselves.
Since July 2023, climate activists have been protesting on days when a session of the state parliament takes place. This Wednesday, however, they did not focus on the country house, but on the Bregenzer Hypobank. The state-owned bank that will probably be left with millions after loans to Rene Benko.
The demonstrators hoisted a flag in the Hypo-Bank design and defaced the facade of the financial institution with paint. ‘Tunnel spin, S18, hypo scandal – How many taxes are left in Wallner’s black hole?’ stood there.
future destroyed
“In connection with the Hypo scandal, it is clear to us that even more taxes are being invested in the destruction of our future instead of, for example, promoting a socially just transport transition,” explains Johannes Juritsch of “Extinction Rebellion”. why the bank was chosen as the location of the protest this time.
The Hypo scandal is reason to stick a finger in the wound and call on Wallner to finally do his duty. “Ensure responsible policies that safeguard our livelihoods and those of future generations and do not destroy them,” says Martina Eisendle of “Extinction Rebellion”.
