Successful
negotiations between the "Embassy of Concerned Citizens"
and the military.
Anti-governmental
protestors could refute being considered as a Security
threat and show their good will.
Vienna,
14th of October 2000.
The "Embassy of
concerned citizens" had strongly reacted to the attempt
made presenting the landing and take-off of helicopters during
the Austrian national day on 26th of October, could be a reason
threatening its existence.
Discussions between the
demonstrators and the military
authorities in Vienna have brought some solution.
On the military side it was clarified that no security reasons would
require the removal of the demonstrators. The military authorities
of Vienna declared that the army does not wish to take
a position in the present political conflict. In no case, there
should be the impression that the celebration
of the national
day could hamper
the democratic right to demonstrate.
Presently, the Hofburg
castle authorities have declared a "ceasefire"
with the "Embassy" until 29th of October. This information
was passed on to the "Embassy of concerned citizens" by
the military authorities in Vienna, yesterday afternoon.
It remains unclear,
however, whether the Hofburg castle authorities
will resume negotiations.
The existence of the Embassy at the Ballhausplatz
in front of the government
offices is a visible sign for the actual problems
with and through the
blue-black government. The Embassy is therefore an important place
because it offers to people who are worried about the
brutal governmental saving
policy, the harsh
treatment
of foreigners
and many other reasons, a place to express their views publicly.
