Wien will „Kauft-nicht-beim-Juden“-Event verhindern

„The city of Vienna seeks to pull the plug on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) events in early March in a municipal-funded building, a spokesperson for the mayor told The Jerusalem Post on Friday. ‚We would like a cancellation,‘ said the spokesman, Martin Ritzmaier, when asked about the BDS activities in the city-subsidized Amerlinghaus building. He added that the city of Vienna has contacted the management of the Amerlinghaus cultural center to urge a cancellation of the BDS activities. ‚The city of Vienna rejects boycott calls against the State of Israel and the association BDS-Austria receives no funding from the city of Vienna,‘ said Ritzmaier. Vienna’s mayor is the Social Democrat Michael Häupl.“ (hier)
