The Last Generation Austria Throws in the Towel
Austrian Group Calls It Quits
Climate Alliance Ends Protests in Austria
The climate group Last Generation has announced its dissolution in Austria. The organization said in a statement that it sees no prospect of success and that car drivers are attacking activists.
Last Generation has been staging protests in Austria since 2022, including blocking roads and disrupting traffic. The group's actions have been controversial, with some people supporting their cause and others criticizing their tactics.
In recent months, the group has faced increasing opposition from the police and the public. In May, a group of masked men attacked activists who were blocking a road in Vienna. The activists were beaten and pepper-sprayed.
The group said that the attacks were a sign that it was no longer safe for them to continue their protests. "We see no prospect of success," the group said in a statement. "We are therefore stopping our actions and dissolving the group."
The dissolution of Last Generation Austria is a setback for the climate movement in the country. The group has been one of the most visible and active climate groups in Austria, and its protests have helped to raise awareness of the issue.
However, the group's tactics have also been divisive. Some people believe that their protests are counterproductive and that they alienate potential supporters. Others believe that their actions are necessary to force the government to take action on climate change.
The dissolution of Last Generation Austria is a reminder that the climate movement is at a crossroads. The movement needs to find ways to continue to raise awareness of the issue and to pressure the government to take action, but it also needs to do so in a way that is effective and does not alienate potential supporters.
