Access blocked – climate protectors block the Vorarlberg state parliament

The members of Extinction Rebellion Austria set a sign against heating up the climate crisis in front of the country house in Bregenz. They have been blocking access to the underground car park since the early hours of Wednesday morning. Posters are stretched out in the forecourt.

The protest of the climate protectors is mainly aimed at the tunnel spider in Feldkirch. A traffic study by the Vienna University of Technology recently confirmed the international consensus of traffic experts that more roads cause more traffic. Project should be ended immediately Against this background, a fossil mega-project like that of the tunnel spider must be ended immediately, writes Extinction Rebellion in a broadcast. The action is intended to prompt the state government and state parliament to end the project immediately. The understanding of the climate protectors is very limited with the President of the State Parliament, Harald Sonderegger. “This is a type of violence that I do not support,” he said on Wednesday morning when asked by “Krone”. However, he is optimistic that the state parliament session will start punctually at 9 a.m. “I’m assuming that the entrance to the underground car park will have been cleared by then, or that those who have to come by car will have looked for an alternative to park their vehicle,” said Sonderegger. He would start the meeting as soon as there was a quorum given is. This is the case when more than half of all deputies are present.
