Climate activists blocked the distribution group in Vienna-Favorit around 8.30 am on Monday. A group of people walked through the traffic jam with signs they had painted themselves to express their personal dismay at the approaching climate catastrophe. Two activists also remained stuck at a crossroads.
The “Last Generation Austria” is demanding “speed limit reductions as an immediate measure in times of the climate, oil and gas crisis,” it said in a broadcast and on social media. Police confirmed the blockade to the APA. It was possible to prevent the activists from entering the motorway themselves, says spokeswoman Irina Steirer. Two activists had clamped down at the intersection with Grenzackerstrasse, Steirer confirmed statements from the demonstrators.
The current block is located directly at the distribution circuit with the crossing to Grenzackerstraße. So there is one lane free, the vehicles are being diverted. The northbound driveway was still closed as of 9:00 a.m. The meeting itself was aborted around 8:45 a.m., the spokeswoman said.
