New ruling divides
What is more important: Christianity or a rock concert?
The Constitutional Court's decision to lift a ban on events on Good Friday in Carinthia is causing a stir. With the argument that this law, which has been in place since 1955, is not constitutional, restrictions on Christmas Eve or Sunday openings could also be called into question again.
The Carinthian Events Act of 1955 was a thorn in the side of the Constitutional Court following a complaint by a cultural association in Villach. The association had to pay a fine of 400 euros last year because it had organized a concert with two music groups on Good Friday of all days and was "caught" by the police. In Carinthia, Section 8 (3) prohibits events on Good Friday out of respect for the religious significance of the anniversary of Jesus Christ's death - as well as on December 24!
