#German #ClimateActivist faces expulsion from #Austria after ban

AFP Apr 7, 2025, Updated Apr 8, 2025

"Austria has banned a German climate activist for two years, she said on Monday, adding she would fight the decision, which could see her expelled from the Alpine EU member.

"#AnjaWindl, who has been living in Austria for seven years, became known for her #protests against #ClimateChange, including glueing herself on streets to stop #traffic with the #LastGeneration group.

"In a decision Windl received last week, the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum issued the two-year ban, giving her one month to leave the country.
"The ban was issued after the German activist was found to pose a 'danger for the #PublicOrder and security', according to the decision seen by AFP.

" 'This is highly problematic from a democratic perspective,' Windl, a 28-year-old psychology #student, told AFP, adding she would appeal the ban.

" 'We are moving toward civilisational #collapse, and instead of holding those responsible accountable, it is those who have peacefully advocated for the preservation of our livelihoods" who are targeted, she said.

"Her lawyer, Ralf Niederhammer, said he did not know of any other political activist being banned from Austria. Windl faces no criminal charges, he added."

"Activists from the Last Generation environmentalist group staged a protest at the Leipzig/Halle Airport in eastern #Germany early on Thursday morning.

#LastGeneration said the protest aimed at stopping overnight freight traffic to make it clear "that this system of destruction cannot be allowed to continue unabated."

Experts have warned that #Germany will almost certainly miss its climate goal of cutting 65% of #emissions by 2030.."

@sinchens_ Kritik am Massenfluegen ist berechtigt und notwendig. Dazu gehört auch, privat auf Flüge zu verzichten, obwohl dadurch die CO2 Bilanz erstmal gar nicht beeinflusst wird. Yannik hat das nicht kapiert. Urlauber als Geiseln zu nehmen, um Druck auf die Industrie oder Politik auszuüben, ist auch falsch. Die #LastGeneration sollte mal ihr Konzept überdenken.

"Germany's Cologne-Bonn #airport temporarily stopped all flights on Wednesday after #climate activist group #LastGeneration glued their hands to a runway and said that was "just the beginning," with similar action planned globally within weeks.

Also on Wednesday, British police said in a post on X they had arrested nine activists from climate campaign group Just Stop Oil for conspiring to disrupt #Heathrow Airport, one of the world's busiest."
