Once again, it was about time for another anti-racism demo. Austria has many reasons to offer for such a demonstration, but this time, two incidents were in the center of attention of the activists. Number one: The fate of the Zeqaj family (refugees from Kosovo), esp. of mother Safete who was in custody pending deportation at the time of the demo. And number two: The questionable activities of the action group "Dammstraße – Against the Construction of Mosques in Residential Areas" (related to the right-wing "Freedom Party" FPÖ), which had just recently organised a protest rally against the building of a prayer hall and cultural center by the association ATIB in a living area in Vienna.
We have spoken to a representative of the association as well as to activists of private initiatives.
