At 7:31 a.m., drivers at the Prinz Eugen exit on the A7 Mühlkreis Autobahn were told: nothing works anymore. According to the police, two members of the Last Generation had glued themselves to the road in the northbound direction, accompanied by a third person who was not glued to the road. Three activists were also deployed in the northbound direction, one of whom got stuck on the road.
“The colleagues were on site within a few minutes, removed the climate adhesive from the road and carried it to the edge of the road,” reports a police spokeswoman in an interview with nachrichten.at. The action was over within 15 minutes and the road was clear once more. Of course there was heavy traffic, “but there was no chaos.” Overall, the action took place calmly, without aggression or resistance from the climate stickers, according to the police spokeswoman.
Climate adhesives were also used to start school in Tyrol and Styria.
Several people marched in front of Rumer Bahnhof (Tyrol) around 8 a.m., the police told APA. The B171 was affected in both directions. A diversion was set up, so there were no major traffic disruptions. In Graz, Petersgasse was closed by a sit-in.
Children’s rights in focus
At the start of school in western Austria, the activists focused on children’s rights. “Especially for our children, we should strive to quickly implement the 93 socially just recommendations of the Citizens’ Climate Council,” it said in a statement.

After regarding an hour, police officers cleared the demonstrators from the street. Advertisements follow.
