Last weekend, activists protested at the Danube Island Festival in Vienna. They threw orange paint on one of the stages from a height of 40 meters. They also unfurled banners and spoke on stage, as seen on recordings.
One activist criticized the lack of climate protection measures and, in this context, the government’s inaction. The fundamental right to climate protection must be included in the constitution, says Bianca (29), who ‘borrowed’ the stage from the band Itchy. Without this fundamental right, people will no longer have a peaceful day, according to a message on the X platform on Sunday.

Sound turned off
Some visitors to the Danube Island Festival applauded. The organizer turned off the group’s sound on Saturday evening, but that could not stop the climate crisis, as can be read in the text shown after the performance.
A day later, the protest continued: climate activists unfurled a 25-meter-long banner with the inscription “We are the last generation before the tipping points.” At the same time, orange-colored cornstarch was thrown from a gondola – as a “distress signal,” as it says. The gondola was part of the festival as advertising.
“Corn starch is edible and completely harmless to animals and the environment. “Is perfect as a thickener for creamy sauces,” according to a press release from Last Generation. If the group didn’t disrupt, they wouldn’t be listened to.
