Krampus runs in Tyrol: All injuries and violence are shocked!

Shocking scenes took place in Krampus runs in Tyrol, which recently caused excitement across the country. In East Tyrol, an viewer was almost separated from the fingertip when a participant struck with a rod. In the Oberland there was also an incident in which a woman was injured by a racket. Eyewitnesses also reported in Zams of several injuries in the course of fights. The aggressive behavior of people towards police officers in Längenfeld, where the Krampus run was not officially registered, is particularly alarming, which, according to the police, brought additional risks. The incidents throw a shadow on a tradition, which is characterized in many communities by clear rules and registration processes, as tirol.orf. reported.

Appeal to maintain tradition

Security state councilor Astrid Mair commented on the incidents and pointed out that violence and violations of the rule have no place in the cramp runs. The representative of the Krampus Association, Stefan Sonnweber, emphasized that physical violence did not belong to customs and demanded more controls during the removals. The police investigations are undertaken to identify the more than 20-strong Krampus group in Längenfeld. Meanwhile, the discussion about civil courage in dealing with violence is also being conducted. A new report illuminates that violence has many faces and often affects women and children. It is pointed out the importance of recognizing and acting signs of domestic violence to help those affected, such as lengenfeld.gv.at noted In view of these incidents, the question arises as to the extent to which preventive measures are necessary in order to preserve the cultural traditions without allowing violent outbreaks. In many cases, it is not only the organizers, but also the spectators and members of the community who are responsible for creating a safe and respectful environment.
