The climate activists of the group “Erde brennt” want to end the occupation of lecture hall C1 at the University of Vienna on Monday evening. A demonstration will then be held to remind “politics of their duties”.
The group announced this on Twitter. The demonstration starts at 6 p.m., the route leads from the University of Vienna (Universitätsring 1) to the Ministry of Education at Minoritenplatz. On this occasion, they wanted to “be loud together and remind the university and politicians of their duties,” it said. The protest was not over even after the withdrawal from the university. “Quite the opposite: the protest has only just begun,” said the activists. As reported, they occupied a lecture hall in mid-November to demand a “radical system change”. This should be able to overcome social crises, the crisis in education, but above all the climate crisis. Between 30 and 50 people are said to have been on site. Concrete demands are, for example, the end of fossil fuels, more money for universities and taxes on wealth. Activists also occupied lecture halls at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Boku), at the Academy of Fine Arts in Innsbruck and Salzburg.
