Thank you so much for these updates. Thanks too for the good you're doing for the refugees in Vienna. I'm in the US and I value your "woman in the street" perspective. I was in Vienna for a month, pre-pandemic, and I arrived in that city via the Hauptbahnhof. In my mind's eye I can see the scenes you describe and your words give me a sense of what all this must look and sound like. Thank you again.
This is possible: "As if people are too young to remember the symbols of fascism past." But I posit that people are looking for ways to behave badly, to act out, to 'stick it to the man'. The level of seriousness in our public discourse is lost on some. Unfortunately, this backlash against legitimate authority is being condoned at the highest levels on the "conservative" side of the political spectrum. Sigh. Please stay safe, Tanja.
