Fridays for Future activists to protest in Graz, Linz, and Vienna, Austria, on March 15. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the Fridays for Future movement plan to protest in Graz, Linz, and Vienna on March 15. The purpose of the actions is to commemorate the movement's fifth anniversary and to support bus drivers. Demonstrations will occur at the following locations:
Graz: Protest at Karmeliterplatz from 15:30. The number of participants is unknown.
Linz: Protest at Volksgarten from 14:00. The number of participants is unknown.
Vienna: March from Suedtirolerplatz to Resselpark from 15:30. Approximately 350 participants are likely.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near all demonstration sites. Rail disruptions are possible at Vienna Central Station. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid demonstration areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near affected areas. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
