I CARE: We are talking to Manuela who is in the Embassy of Concerned 
Citizens, a tent in the middle of Vienna.
Why is there an Embassy of Concerned Citizens?

Manuela; Because we don't feel represented by the government which is in
Austria now. So we founded an embassy which is taking care of  the concerns
of the people and make sure that they are recognized.

I CARE: What is happening in the Embassy?

Manuela: We just started three days ago, and there is no organization behind it,
just a gathering of concerned citizens. So slowly but surely we are
becoming a program here. Just today we had a very interesting discussion
where we invited two representatives of organizations organizing the
resistance and invited people and talk to them about the future
perspectives of resistance in Austria. There were about hundred people
coming and you must imagine we're outside in front of the government house.
It's freezing cold and these hundred people were here talking for about an
hour and a half and they didn't want to stop but the speakers of course
were freezing so we stopped it. It shows there is a big interest and it
also shows the people really want to go on with the resistance. Their
concern is mostly about violence and it is very clear this is something
people don't want here. 

I CARE: So all the Austrians who are concerned should bring blankets
and heaters!

Manuela: That would be nice (laughter). More blankets, more heaters
wouldn't be bad (more laughter). 

I CARE: How long is the Embassy going to stay there?

Manuela: We decided to stay as long as we have reason to worry about the
situation in Austria. So, it might be for years, we don't know. When there
is another formation we may feel like we can go.

I CARE: Thank you very much.

Manuela: Thank you.
