In Vienna, protests have erupted following the recent national elections where the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) emerged as the leading party with 29% of the vote.
Demonstrators gathered outside the Austrian Parliament to voice their opposition to the FPÖ's potential role in government, chanting slogans like "Never Kickl" and "Nazis out of Parliament.
" The protest was organized by leftist groups and small parties, emphasizing the importance of human and women's rights.
Simultaneously, the historic "Thursday Demonstrations" are making a comeback, echoing past protests against right-wing coalitions.
Scheduled to begin on October 3rd, these demonstrations aim to rally against a perceived right-wing shift in Austrian politics, advocating for a cooperative society.
The resurgence of these protests highlights a significant public pushback against the FPÖ's electoral success and potential governmental influence.
