After protest action
Activists left used diapers at ÖVP headquarters
"The police acted in an absolutely exemplary manner at all times," says ÖVP regional managing director Sebastian Kolland. Apparently in contrast to the activists from the Association Against Animal Factories, who, according to Kolland, behaved "completely beyond the pale".
Sebastian Kolland, VP Tyrol regional managing director, describes the accusations made by the Association Against Animal Factories (VGT), which barricaded itself in the ÖVP party headquarters for hours last week, as "completely absurd".
The police acted in an exemplary manner at all times and with great care and patience - in contrast to the squatters.

"You have to have the cheek to do that. Breaking into someone else's house, barricading yourself in, chaining yourself up and then constructing some kind of tall tales. The truth is that the police acted in an exemplary manner at all times and with a great deal of caution and patience. In contrast, the squatters shouted loudly every time they were touched and behaved in a completely otherworldly manner. Those activists who had chained themselves up also simply left the used adult diapers they were wearing in the courtyard," explains the VP regional manager.
"Don't get me wrong: In a democracy, everyone should have the opportunity to stand up for causes that they believe are right. But the way the VGT does it is completely unacceptable," emphasizes Kolland.
He is angry with the association: "When the 15 VGT members stormed into the building last Wednesday, most of them wearing masks, many of our employees were scared to death at first. To then stand up and denounce the police against all the facts is simply unacceptable."
"The activists are not lying"
In a reaction, David Richter from Verein für Tierfabriken takes a stand: "The police were correct for hours, that's true. But this correctness ended when the chained activists were cut apart. And the greatest violence was then in the police detention center! The people who were subjected to violence there are not lying. What good would it do them?"
