According to police spokesman Stefan Loidl, five people were partially stuck. A diversion has been set up and traffic volumes are said to be low. The rally on the B14 ended in the early afternoon.
“Was to be expected”
The police were alerted around 8:45 a.m. The officers who were deployed initially left the activists stuck. Public bus transport could pass the blockade, police spokesman Johann Baumschlager said this morning. Two of the activists were initially stuck. Up to ten came to Klosterneuburg until midday. The rally ultimately lasted until around 1:30 p.m.

“It was to be expected that the climate chaotics would follow our governor at her birthday party,” reacted Matthias Zauner, regional manager of the Lower Austria People’s Party. Because no one else would advocate for harsher punishments against climate glue as consistently as Mikl-Leitner, he added.
Numerous guests from politics and business
The birthday party for Mikl-Leitner started in the afternoon. Numerous guests from politics, business, sport and culture were expected in Klosterneuburg. In Lower Austria’s third largest city, among others, former state governor Erwin Pröll (ÖVP), former federal president Heinz Fischer and Vienna’s mayor Michael Ludwig (both SPÖ), Upper Austria’s state governor Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) as well as his Burgenland counterpart Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) and Bavaria’s interior minister should be present Joachim Herrmann (CSU) will meet.
