Austria: ATTAC activists to march in central Vienna Feb. 25

Event

Activists affiliated with the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions and for Citizens' Action (ATTAC) plan to protest in central Vienna Feb. 25. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand additional financial support for people and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will gather at 1700 outside the Landstrasse Station before marching to the Federal Chancellery; the event is scheduled to end by 1900.

Police will likely deploy to monitor the event, though the gathering will probably transpire without incident. Related security measures, including movement restrictions, could prompt localized disruptions during the demonstration.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration to mitigate the potential for disruptions and as a standard security precaution. Allow additional time for travel near the march route.
