Posters and slogans are used to draw attention to global warming. Around 70 demonstrators are currently marching through Klagenfurt city center.

Whether it's due to the weather or the window day, around 70 people are taking part in the announced "Fridays for Future" demonstration in Klagenfurt today - there have been significantly more at previous events. Nevertheless, representatives from a wide range of organizations, such as "Science for Future" and "The Last Generation", gathered and used slogans and speeches to draw attention to climate protection.

Election appeal and letter to Peter Kaiser
The demonstration, which has been registered around the Klagenfurter Ring from 12 noon to 6 p.m., is all about the EU elections: "You have the choice" is written on a large banner. Although it is emphasized that the climate movement is not advertising for any party, it wants to call on people to use their own vote to set an example for climate protection. In front of the Carinthian provincial government, a letter to Governor Peter Kaiser was also read out, calling on the politician to reconsider his stance on the EU renaturation regulation.

There will be temporary closures in Klagenfurt city center and along the ring road until 6 pm (Friday).
