The banner reads "Autoindustrie: Erst Klimaschutz verpennen, dann Steuergeld verbrennen" which translates into "car industry: first oversleeping climate protection then burning tax money". The Ballhausplatz is located in front of the Chancellor's Office, where a car summit takes place that day (in Austria the Chancellor is the head of state). Greenpeace demands that the possible financial support being given to the car industry is tied to conditions in terms of energy efficiency as well as climate-friendly mobility.In original language:Autogipfel Ballhausplatz WienDie Umweltorganisation Greenpeace fordert anlässlich des heute im Bundeskanzleramt in Wien stattfindenden Autogipfels, dass eine etwaige Unterstützung für die Autoindustrie an die Bedingungen Energie-Effizienz und klimaschonende Mobilität geknüpft wird. Die Umweltschützer unterstreichen ihre Forderungen mit einer Protestaktion am Ballhausplatz, im Rahmen derer Greenpeace-Aktivisten, als Vertreter der Autoindustrie verkleidet, symbolisch Geld verbrennen.Greenpeace unterstützt Maßnahmen für den Erhalt von Arbeitsplätzen, nicht aber die Förderung von Autoherstellern, die es bisher versäumt haben, sparsame Autos zu entwickeln.Date:8 Jan, 2009Credit:© Greenpeace / Kurt PrinzMaximum size:2848px X 4288pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Cars-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Government buildings-Governments and Government organisations-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Props-Small group of people-Street theatre actions-Theatrical costumesShoot:Action at Car Summit in ViennaGreenpeace activists, dressed up as representatives of the car industry, protest at the Ballhausplatz- square in Vienna by burning fake banknotes in an open fire.
