When the city center becomes a protest zone, Babsi Löwe's business collapses. She demands more support from the city.

Business owners in the city center are facing challenges - not so much because of the clientele, but rather because of the numerous demonstrations that regularly take place.

"On Thursdays and Saturdays, as soon as the demonstrations start, business collapses," says Babsi Löwe, who has been running the fashion store "Bettina Fashion" in Operngasse for 33 years. The noise and restrictions caused by the demonstrations mean that many Viennese avoid the 1st district, especially on Saturdays, traditionally the busiest shopping day.
