VIENNA INDEPENDENCE DAY 25 Oct

Eugene finds it very odd that Austrians celebrate their independence day by looking at tanks and helicopters - with one of the weakest military forces in Europe. Surely there are more creative ways to mark this move away from the Allies, after WW2. Feeling frustration with the conflict between Vienna and Austria, he wants to move away from so much destructive and conservative control over the Capital city by the provinces, the Kammer, the Volkspartei, the church, etc. He identifies with Wien, but much less so with Austria, and wants to look at the ways we can declare more freedom from all this bureaucracy and backward thinking.

So come join us on a protest walk, showing the ways in which our home town is so much more progressive than the surrounding land, from ecology, to youth, food to mobility, education, diversity, LGBTQIA+, culture and European identity. Time to move on.
