Large demonstration in Vienna: 3,000 for free Syria on the street!
On December 8, 2024, around 3,000 participants celebrated a large demonstration in front of the State Opera on December 8, 2024 to support the end of the Assad regime and the fight for free Syria. The campaign was organized by the "Free Syrian Community in Austria in solidarity with the Syrian Revolution". Protesters waved Syrian flags with the lettering "Free Syria" and called for the right of the displaced people to return to their newly liberated villages. According to the police report, the demonstration was well attended, and the organizers expected up to 10,000 participants who wanted to march to parliament, as reported on vienna.atdemonstrations in Germany
parallels are emerging from the latest demonstrations in Germany, which focused on the Gaza war. Large left-wing rallies, such as the "Revolutionary 1. May Demo" in Berlin, attracted 11,500 to 30,000 participants, with the police accompanied a total of 30 meetings with around 55,000 people. Here, too, the demands of solidarity and peace were shaped. While most demonstrations were largely peaceful, there were occasional crimes and disputes with the police, as Deutschlandfunk reported. Anti-Israeli slogans were called and numerous participants sweared Palestinian flags, which illustrates the politicized mood.
The security forces had to intervene occasionally because attacks had occurred, but these incidents were classified as low than in previous years. In the context of these movements it becomes clear that there is a strong need for political participation and the topic of international conflicts in both Vienna and Germany, whereby the pressure to change political conditions comes to the fore.
