The Social Democrat (SPÖ) experienced heavy lossings in the 1999 elections for the National Council, while the right-wing populist FPÖ reached the second place with a narrow majority over the Conservatives (ÖVP). When the ÖVP-FPÖ coalition government under Wolfgang Schüssel was sworn in in January 2000, several thousands of people began to protest every day, creating a unique movement in post-war Austria. After three weeks, demonstrations were reduced to one a week as it became apparent that the fight against the government would last longer than expected. For two years, thousands of people went out to protest every Thursday evening. An unimagined pool of creativity emerged, several activists started networking and formed their own resistance groups, such as Performing Resistance, Transdanubien gegen schwarzblau and the United Aliens.

The Thursday demonstrations had been going on for over two years, but when the government was cofirmed in office after the reelection (2002), most activists were disenchanted (see "..."). Since then, protest rallies take place on `jubilees´ only. As last year, we attended and asked ... more |

| The government is celebrating the 5th. year of it's existance, and so is the 'resistance movement'. The times when there was a protest rally taking place every single Thrusday night are long gone. Two and a half years later, demonstration veterans and newbies make another effort to turn back time.
