Loud protest
Activists woke up the whole of Vienna with a “fire alarm”
During the current wave of climate protests throughout Vienna, the Last Generation activists came up with another atypical protest action. On Tuesday, they marched through the streets at 4.30 a.m. on the dot and woke local residents from their sleep with their "fire alarm". Just a few hours later, the stickers were used on the streets of Penzing, causing chaos in the early morning traffic.
With loud singing and a lot of noise, the climate activists drew attention to the climate crisis throughout Hietzing. "We are the fire alarm of a sleeping and repressive society," declared the Last Generation on social media.
Second protest in early morning traffic
Early morning traffic in the 14th district was also paralyzed at around 8.30 am after several activists drew attention to the consequences of the climate crisis here too. The police were quickly on the scene to disperse the action.
"Planet is the burning house"
"When the house is on fire and people are asleep, the fire alarm saves their lives. In this metaphor, our planet is the burning house while humanity is fast asleep. We are the fire alarm - a warning that is not always welcome, but indispensable," says press officer Anna Freund (23).
Effects of the climate crisis
The climate activists want to use this protest action in particular to draw attention to the massive impact of the climate crisis around the world. "In addition to flooding, there have been massive forest fires and drought. There have been crop failures and rising food prices," explains a climate activist in a Last Generation press release.
Disruptive actions without glue
The climate activists started their next wave of protests throughout Vienna on Monday. They blocked the entrance to a supermarket and smeared it with orange paint. In addition to the stickers on the streets, other disruptive actions are also planned this time.
