On Thursday, October 24, 2024, a planned demonstration under the motto “Offensive against the right” will take place in Graz.

The protest event begins at 5 p.m. at Lendplatz, where numerous participants are expected. From around 5.30 p.m. they will then go on a planned route that leads via Keplerstrasse, Wickenburggasse, Jahngasse and Glacisstrasse to Attemsgasse. Due to this movement, traffic in the city center will be significantly affected.
