A video is currently making the rounds on social media. It shows a right-wing extremist action on a refugee accommodation in Vienna (Austria). The group stormed the roof, lit pyrotechnics and blocked the entrance, among other things.
The Ute-Bock-Haus published the following press release, which we are reproducing here in its entirety:
In the early hours of the morning, the group “Patriots in Motion” gained access to the roof of the Ute Bock House via the neighboring house on Zohmanngasse and unrolled a huge banner. They also blocked the entrance area of the house with a fence that was placed around a banner with a map of Austria. Around 20 unknown men were present, chanting racist statements and setting off smoke bombs on the roof and in front of the entrance. Pieces of paper with crude demands continued to be thrown onto the street.
“We condemn this racist attack in the strongest possible terms! Over 90 people, children, women and men who are seeking protection in Austria live in the Ute Bock House. Many of them have experienced traumatic things. Including residents from Ukraine who have just left the war behind them. As a society, it is our duty to protect these people and they are faced with this hatred. That’s a shame!” says Gerd Trimmal, managing director and board member of the Ute Bock refugee project.
“This attack is deeply shocking. The residents of the house are scared, and this is an incredible burden, especially for the children. The Ute Bock House has been a place of arrival for years, and this inhumane and racist attack will not change that!” adds Thomas Eminger, managing director of the Vienna NGO.
The police and fire department were immediately there to remove the banner from the roof of the house. The house was also checked for explosive material as a safety measure. The all-clear could be given here.
