The 150th Stair Walk will take place on November 19. This anniversary reflects the tenacity with which the people of Styria have shown themselves and taken to the streets in recent years for freedom, basic rights and self-determination. This tireless commitment is also recognized abroad: lawyer Philipp Kruse will travel from Switzerland to the 150th Walk to honor Walk participants. Also Dr. Maria Hubbar-Mogg and Prof. Andreas Sonnichsen will be on site.

With Dr. Maria Huber-Mogg, lawyer Philipp Kruse and Prof. Andreas Sonnichsen, The 150th Stair Rally has already seen a good turnout. Various personalities of the movement will also be felicitated who cannot reach there themselves.
The event will begin at 5:30 pm in Stair’s town square. After the lecture, there will be a march through the town of Steyr, like every Sunday, in any season, like the first 149 times.
Stair is a microcosm of society. City politics there ensured that Dr. Danielle Ganser and Dr. Maria Huber-Mogg were not allowed to appear in public places, although the Ganser case has legal ramifications. There is also a strong interest group whose “democratic” sensibilities lead them to repeatedly try to prevent the basic right to demonstrate in stare. However, it encourages the protesters there to press forward under the motto “We never give up”.
The other part of the population in Steyr appears to be extremely resistant. Many of those still active today were there from the beginning, and some are still there all the time. As a result of the so-called “Corona pandemic”, most activists became aware for the first time how inaccurate and incompletely the media reported that there were corruption and networks in Austria and that politicians were not making any policies for the population. , Mandatory vaccination, restrictions on freedom and suppression of freedom of expression were also reasons to show face on the streets. He had a sense that there were higher-level structures and organizations that pursued other interests. For example, an organization representative refers to the European Union or the WHO, whose central goals are not in the interest of Austrian citizens.
The organizing group currently consists of five people who care about education and information. The group is completely independent, not belonging to any club, party or organization and also operates independently financially.
“A lot of people took part during the Corona period because information was hidden from them. We strive to educate and expose experts and information that was deliberately hidden from them or censored so that in the future people do not fall prey to the tricks and manipulations of power politics that work against the interests of citizens.“, said one of the responsible people of the organization in a telephone conversation.
The small team always manages to invite very famous speakers to Stair. Apart from Corona, many topics have also been covered. In the past few weeks, Dr. Bernhard Strehl on the topic of climate change, DI Dr. Martin Steiner on the topic of energy, retired Colonel Gottfried Pausch on the topic of neutrality or Dr. Wolfgang Schuhmeyer on the topic of pharmaceutical cartels. Court-sworn expert Dr. At the 144th Stair Walk, Helmut Trendel provided information on the topic of “useless masks”, attorney Gottfried Forsthuber talked about fundamental rights, mag Ortwin Rosner talked about lies and manipulation – Name just a few speakers.
Many thanks to the people of Steyr – also from Switzerland
Asked why she was in Steyr on November 19, 2023, Dr. Maria Hubbard-Mogg:
,I am coming to Steyr because it is important for me, whenever I can, to deeply support the peaceful movement of those courageous citizens who have been setting a clear example here for almost three years.,
Lawyer Philipp Kruse is traveling from Switzerland. On the question why he travels so long, his answer is impressive:
“I would like to express my respect and gratitude to these people that they are so steadfastly and steadfastly setting an example, a monument, with their peaceful protests 150 times in a row every Sunday evening: ‘We (Steyer’s The people) stand and march for self-determination, for human dignity, for our democracy, for our fundamental freedoms. And we insist on no compromise with injustice!’
This is an incredible achievement, an enduring effort to protect our rights, absolutely exemplary! In this way, the people of Styria are fighting for the same basic rights, the same concerns of reason, law, and humanity that I also try to defend in my legal writing in Switzerland. That’s why I feel very connected to the people of Styria and want to express my thanks and appreciation to them (also on behalf of all the freedom-loving people of Switzerland).
As many people as possible should do this outside the staircase. The renowned speakers at the 150th Stair Walk Rally are certainly worth the long trip. Vienna, Austria or Graz are a long way away compared to Switzerland.
