“Kurz has to go”. Thousands of people in the streets in Vienn against the Chancellor and anti-covid measures
Thousands of protesters invaded the Austrian capital amid growing anger over government restrictions on the coronavirus. The demonstration resulted in fights and several arrests, according to reports.
About 15,000 people attended the demonstration on Saturday. Protesters held placards reading "Kurz must leave" as they chanted slogans calling for the resignation of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
The show shows protesters pouring into the streets of central Vienna waving Austrian flags. Some of the protesters gathered in a park where they listened to the speeches of the leaders of the Liberal Party, FPO, the Austrian right, who had called the demonstration.
Speaking to the crowd, former Interior Minister Herbert Kickl accused the government of "dancing to the brink of madness" and described the Covid-19 restrictions as "so weird and crazy, [that] no Hollywood director could invent it ". Since Austria is a democratic country, Kickl was then denounced for "Violation of anti covid rules", just like Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar …
The Kurz government is not only under attack for its anti-covid policy, even if it has promised that all Austrians will be vaccinated by the summer, but his government has also been shaken by accusations of corruption of personalities very close to him. A very tense situation.
