A blockade of the Linz Nibelungenbrücke caused chaos on the street on Tuesday morning. But it was not the “last generation” activists, but environmental activists who want to protect the Linz Green Belt. The result was long traffic jams.
In recent years, activists from the ‘last generation’ have always provided mass traffic jams on the street because they are occupied. The group dissolved in Austria last August. But on Tuesday, a handful of members of the extended rebellion Group entered the footsteps of the “last generation” around 7:30 am.
Glued
On Tuesday morning these activists were on their way to the city center in the new town hall. The reason for the protest: for formal reasons, the city of Linz had banned a referendum for the “Rescue of the Linz Green Belt”. On the other hand, the activists who are not members of the initiative of the citizens who wanted to initiate the survey.
Because some of the few protesters were even glued to the road. The police solved the campaign relatively quickly, but the traffic chaos was already there.
Therefore extensive traffic jams
The rain and bad weather also came to the demo and always leads to more traffic in Linz. The cars were then from Puchenau, on the Pöstlingberg the vehicles to the zoo and the alternative route over the new railway bridge was closed.
Sharp criticism of politics
Of course the campaign was not well received by the city politicians. “Those who consciously block a bridge track in rush hour during the rush hour and unnecessarily delay – from students to nursing staff and commuters. If you want to change“,” Rum vice mayor Martin Hajart from the ÖVP.
The municipal councilor of FPö Michael RAML demands hard punishments for the blockers: “Instead of bothering working people, the climate activists should prefer to go to work themselves. Stitching blocks should not be tolerated.”
