The planned construction of a medical centre in Breitenfurt near Vienna has been causing a stir for months. Now, resistance is also emerging from the 23rd district of Vienna, as a citizens' initiative warns of an impending traffic collapse.

Since the announcement of the primary care centre on a ten-hectare site, six hectares of which are dedicated to building land, there has been criticism from the citizens' initiative "Future Breitenfurt". They are vehemently fighting against the development of the meadow and fear negative impacts on the quality of life in the region.

As ORF reports, there were tumultuous scenes and physical attacks against the office manager during a demonstration, according to the municipality. However, the citizens' initiative rejects these accusations. The mayor has filed a complaint.

Resistance to Medical Centre in Breitenfurt also from Vienna

Resistance is now also stirring from the 23rd district of Vienna. The district party PRO23 is calling for a protest, as they fear an impending traffic collapse should the project be implemented. District councillor Christian Steinhoff warns of the impacts on the quality of life in the westernmost part of Vienna-Liesing. PRO23 chairman Ernst Paleta sees the sealing of the meadow as a crime against the environment and criticises the associated increased flood risk for Liesing. On December 8, 2024, the Breitenfurt population will be asked again about the project.
