"Fridays For Future" Protests Announced in Front of ÖVP Headquarters

The ÖVP is breaking its word, just as the SPÖ and NEOS would render their own election promises absurd if they remain silent on this plan, it was stated in a press release.

"Fridays For Future" announced protests

The planned postponement from the EU Environment Council on September 18 to the EU summit at the end of October would, due to the unanimity principle in effect there, mean that just one country could block the EU climate target. "Fridays for Future" see a breach of promise in the fact that Environment Minister Norbert Totschnig (ÖVP) had previously emphasized Austria's support for the new EU climate target for 2040. On Friday, the activists not only want to protest in front of the ÖVP headquarters in Vienna from 11:00 AM, but also to "remind SPÖ and NEOS of their joint responsibility through a handover" beforehand.
