周四，约5万人走上奥地利首都街头，抗议削减教育开支。此次示威由组织者奥地利全国学生联合会（OH）早前通过新闻稿宣布。
Around 50,000 people took to the streets of Austria’s capital on Thursday to protest cuts to education spending. The demonstration in Vienna was announced earlier by its organizer, the Austrian National Union of Students (OH), in a press release.
声明称：“联邦政府已宣布，2028年至2030年大学预算为160亿欧元（约合179亿美元）。然而，根据大学会议的估算，仅为抵消通胀成本，至少需要180亿欧元。”
"The federal government has announced a budget of €16 billion ($17.9 billion) for universities for the years 2028 through 2030.
示威于下午3点（格林威治标准时间1300）在维也纳理工大学主楼前拉开帷幕，口号为“红色警报——教育需要资金而非空谈”。
However, according to estimates by the Conference of Universities, at least €18 billion would be necessary just to offset the costs of inflation," it said.
据奥地利全国学生联合会称，集会参与者不仅包括维也纳各高校的师生，还有来自其他联邦州的学术界人士。
The demonstration began at 3 pm (1300GMT) in front of the main building of the Vienna University of Technology under the slogan “Red Alert –According to the Austrian National Union of Students, the rally was attended not only by students and staff from Vienna’s universities but also by members of the academic community from other federal states.
此外，公共服务工会还为大学城的高校教职员工和医生组织了交通接送。
In addition, the Public Service Union had organized transportation for university staff and doctors from university towns.
OH主席维多利亚·库德纳在活动开始前告诉当地媒体，示威的目标是表达抵制。她说，仍抱有政府会增加预算的希望。
The goal of the demonstration was to show resistance, OH Chairperson Viktoria Kudrna told local media before the event began. She said there is still hope the government will raise the budget.
然而，在联邦政府内部，该额度在周六高层官员达成协议后被视为最终定案。
Within the federal government, however, the amount is considered final following an agreement reached by top government officials on Saturday.
奥地利全国学生联合会警告，削减预算可能会减少学术项目范围、削弱学生支持服务并恶化就业条件。
The Austrian National Union of Students warns that the cuts could reduce the range of academic programs, weaken student support services and worsen employment conditions.
库德纳补充说，学生们已感受到影响。例如，维也纳理工大学已缩短图书馆开放时间，且该校校长延斯·施奈德早在6月中旬就已预防性地冻结了新职位招聘。高校行政部门正式支持此次抗议，例如批准师生请假参加示威。
Students are already noticing the effects, Kudrna added. At the Vienna University of Technology, for example, library hours have been reduced, and as early as mid-June, Jens Schneider, the university’s rector, had imposed a precautionary freeze on new job postings. The protests are officially supported by the university administrations, for example by granting students and staff time off to participate in the demonstrations.
