Austria’s head of state just wanted to say thank you.
Vienna l Sometimes it’s the small, human stories that spice up our everyday life and make it something special. This is all the more true under pandemic conditions.
Schauplatz 1, Dsseldorf, demo of self-proclaimed corona rebels. Ambulance in action rushes past. The driver calls out to the demonstrators over the loudspeaker: You’re crazy.
One of the rebels rebels posted the video on Twitter and demanded consequences for the ambulance crew. Then the opposite happens: under the hashtag #IhrSeidDochSpinner, the majority of the network community shows solidarity with the paramedics and even demands a salary increase for them.
Scene 2, Vienna, subway. Suddenly an older man said in a loud, firm voice over the station loudspeaker: I just want to thank you today! Thanks for keeping your distance. Thanks for looking at each other. The older man at the microphone in the station master’s house is Austria’s Federal President Alexander van der Bellen (77 / Green). This is how it works. Thank you.
