Peaceful celebration in Vienna: Syrians dance to Assad's fall for freedom!

On Sunday, the Viennese city turned into a festival of joy and freedom when demonstrators took to the streets on the occasion of the fall of the Syrian Assad regime. An estimated 3,000 participants celebrated exuberantly and maintained a festive atmosphere with their e-bikes and Syrian flags. The police were there to monitor the situation, and according to the police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, it remained calm except for a few minor violations according to the Pyrotechnics Act. An activist was optimistic: "Finally Assad is gone! Today, all people are satisfied." The celebrations are likely to last until the evening, such as Today. reported.

But not only the Syrian community made a name for itself. On Saturday, over 1,000 people gathered at Heldenplatz to express their resentment about the political situation in Austria. Despite police security measures, in which several knives and a shotgun were secured, the participants held on their protest. The police had prohibited the originally planned route through the ring due to the expected traffic disruptions. As a result, there were numerous spontaneous demonstrations that were dissolved by the emergency services. A man stated that the required dialogue was impossible, and this led to further displeasure. According to information from krone.at , a potential encounter between demonstrations with different political positions was successfully prevented.

The current events in Vienna reflect the tense mood, which is both on the streets and in politics. While some celebrate the triumph over the Assad government, others feel under pressure from political decisions in their homeland. The police continue to observe the situation in order to keep both the joy and the unrest in a controlled framework.
