Corona demo is relocated from downtown Salzburg
In a “very consensual conversation” between the rally’s registrants and the police, an agreement was reached on a different route on Friday, police spokesman Hans Wolfgruber told the APA.
Different route for Corona demo
While the march usually leads across the centrally located State Bridge, this time an agreement has been reached on the Unipark Nonntal area, also a little south of the old town. “A few formalisms are still necessary, but the solution is actually ‘available'”, says Wolfgruber. Starting from the Unipark, there will be a tour of the Nonntal district. In addition to this “walk”, a stand rally by the vaccination-critical party MFG has also been registered for Sunday lunchtime, which, according to Wolfgruber, will take place on Kapitelplatz, also a little away from the shopping streets.
“Walk” in Salzburg brings traffic delays
The move was inspired not least by Salzburg’s mayor Harald Preuner (ÖVP), who spoke of a “terrible signal” to the ORF in view of the expected demonstrations. For the police, it was primarily a matter of avoiding traffic disruptions and the neuralgic points that would have been expected on the right route. “The organizers have also seen that.” In addition, splinter groups always spread out in the old town, for example in Getreidegasse, said Wolfgruber
