Student protest in Vienna: Cry for a fairer education!

Under the urgent motto "Blau-black must not go to school", there will be an important school strike in Vienna on Friday, February 14th. The campaign of critical students Vienna launched this strike to protest against the impending FPÖ-ÖVP government. The students: start at 9:30 a.m. at Stephanplatz and end with a rally in front of the Federal Chancellery on Ballhausplatz. Levi Lansky, co -organizer of the strike, emphasizes that a government that endangers the future of youth cannot earn support. It is a call to everyone to defend the education sector, which is particularly disadvantaged by savings. From the perspective of other youth organizations, the protection of democracy and real climate protection are also central concerns of the strike, reported APA-OT.

As part of the global "Fridays for Future" protest, the movement for more climate protection in Austria and worldwide is getting louder. In the past few weeks, pupils in Vienna have demonstrated every Friday for their future, inspired by the initiative of the climate activist Greta Thunberg. Next Friday, March 15th, a global climate strike will take place in which students take to the streets worldwide to demand urgent political measures against climate change. The support from science and parents who organize themselves in movements such as "Parents for Future" and "Scientists for Future" is growing steadily. According to Helga Kromp-Kolb, a leading scientist in Austria, the concern of young people is legitimate and necessary to ensure a better future, as was reported in the courier.
