During the current wave of climate protests across Vienna, Last Generation activists came up with another atypical protest action. On Tuesday they marched through the streets at 4:30 a.m. sharp and woke up residents from their sleep with their “fire alarm.” A few hours later, the glue was used on the streets in Penzing and caused chaos in early morning traffic.
With loud singing and a lot of noise, climate activists throughout Hietzing drew attention to the climate crisis. “We are the fire alarm of a sleeping and repressing society,” explained the last generation on social media.Second protest in early morning traffic Early traffic was also brought to a standstill in the 14th district around 8:30 a.m. after several activists drew attention to the consequences of the climate crisis. The police were quickly on site to break up the action. “Planet is the burning house” “If the house is burning and people are sleeping, the fire alarm will save their lives. In this metaphor, our planet is the burning house while humanity sleeps soundly. We are the fire alarm – a not always welcome but indispensable warning,” says press spokeswoman Anna Freund (23).Impacts of the climate crisisThe climate activists want to use this protest action to draw attention to the massive effects of the climate crisis throughout the world. “In addition to floods, there were massive forest fires and drought. There were crop failures and rising food prices,” explains a climate activist in a broadcast from Last Generation. Disruptive actions without glue. The climate activists started their next wave of protests all over Vienna on Monday. They blocked the entrance to a supermarket and daubed it with orange paint. In addition to the sticking activities on the streets, other disruptive actions are also planned this time.
