Austria: Climate Activists to protest march in downtown Vienna from 16:30 May 26

Event

Climate activist plan to protest in central Vienna from 16:30 May 26. Organizers aim to march in solidarity with the German-based environmental group, the Last Generation (LG), who they allege have been criminalized and subject to security forces' raids. Activists plan to gather in front of the Karlskirche at Resselpark before marching along an unspecified route. It is unclear how many people will participate in the demonstration.

Authorities will almost certainly deploy to monitor the gathering. Although the march will likely pass peacefully, especially large groups of people will prompt localized transport disruptions on the march route and surrounding roads.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Check for disruptions before beginning journeys and consider utilizing alternative routes to circumvent the impacted area. Heed all instructions from security services.
