Student protest in Vienna: Our future is not negotiable!

Stephansplatz, 1010 Wien, Österreich - The tensions in the education sector in Austria increase! On Friday, February 14th, a large-scale school strike will take place under the motto "Blau-Schwarz must not do school". The campaign of critical pupils (AKS) and the state schoolchildren: Inner representation (LSV), students call for participation all over Vienna. The aim of the protest is to demonstrate against the impending coalition between the FPÖ and the ÖVP, which is perceived as a threat to just and democratic education, reported Oe24.at .

The demonstration begins at 9:30 a.m. on Stephansplatz and ends with a rally in front of the Federal Chancellery. Guide figures such as Maximilian Maireder, who co-organized the campaign, warn that the policy of Kickl-FPÖ is discriminatory and promotes authoritarian tendencies. "Our future is not negotiable - we will defend it," explains Levi Lansky from the AKS and emphasizes the need for social justice and improvements in the education system. Other central concerns are the protection of democracy and an effective climate protection, such as ots.at.

The organizers emphasize that the strike should set a clear sign against the possible savings in the education sector, which could primarily affect disadvantaged students. Supported by various youth organizations, they call not only students, but also teachers and other interested parties to raise themselves against discrimination in the school system.
