A protest with consequences: climate stickers block passage for ambulances
Climate sticker campaigns meet with a particularly high level of incomprehension when they stop rescue vehicles.
"The road blockades not only arouse dissatisfaction among the motorists affected, but also pose a potential safety risk," says City Councilor for Safety Michael Raml from Linz.
According to the city, the climate stickers blocked the passage of two fire brigade vehicles.
In this case, it was fortunate that the delay had no impact on the mission, but the "dangerous activism" had to stop urgently, said Raml.
