Large protests in Vienna: 25 years of black-blue government in focus!

Wiener Ballhausplatz, 1010 Wien, Österreich - On the 25th anniversary of the first black and blue federal government, citizens demonstrate against a possible new coalition between the FPÖ and the ÖVP. A demo train is planned, which leads from Vienna Ballhausplatz to the headquarters of the ÖVP in Lichtenfelsgasse, where a final rally will take place. In recent years there have been repeated protests against the participation of the government of the freedom, as well as nön.at . This tradition goes back to 2000 when the FPÖ entered the government for the first time and "Thursday demos" were launched.

The first major demonstration this year took place in January when the FPÖ emerged from the National Council election as the strongest party and the ÖVP was in government negotiations. These demonstrations are a sign of the trouble that continues in the current protest. Already at that time several tens of thousands of people flocked on the streets, and similar figures are also expected this time, such as "https://www.vienna.at/demonstration-am-jahrestag-der-angelobung-von-schwarz-blau-ins/9197353"> Vienna.at reported .
