Austria: What the hell is “Opernball” ?

By: liberation - February 28th, 2001  Filed under: News

The Opernball is a long traditioned, high society event in the viennese opera in the austrian carneval season. It is a symbol of burgeois prepotence and it is a meeting of the economy`s “who is who”.

In 1987 the bavarian prime minister F.J. Strauss who persueded the raising of the nuclear reprocessing station in Wackersdorf came to the Opernball.

For the first time massive riots of some thousand german and austrian autonomous, anti-nuclear, grass root and anarchist protestors took place in Vienna. From this on the anti-Opernball protests became a symbol of “rioter`s violence” and police repression. The fairytale of travelling german autonomous protestors coming to destroy “peaceful” Austria was established. For years, in times of the Openball, all radical political groups have been observed, regulary people were arrested and beaten. [Read More]

A day of “celebration” for the political and social elite, October 3rd has become an annual day of protest for Germany’s radical-left.
