(MENAFN) On Saturday, thousands of people protested against the rising cost of living in Vienna, with many of them criticizing the country's leadership and the "globalist agenda."
According to the Heute newspaper, which cited the local Police department, the event was attended by around 3,000 people. The "patriots' march" was yet another gathering that happened in Vienna's center. Both ceremonies went down without a hitch despite the intense security along the roads.
The demonstrators charged that the Austrian government was neglecting its own citizens and serving "globalists" instead of its own citizens. On Saturday, the main topic of discussion was the inflationary situation and the growing cost of gasoline. Some protestors opposed the mandated coronavirus immunizations.
The term "suicide-sanctions" was reportedly used by protesters to describe the punitive actions taken against Russia after its military intervention in Ukraine. Others criticized "NATO’s warmongering," and what they regarded as an overall push for militarization in Europe.
