OMV is not only one of the world's 100 most climate-damaging corporations. It has also been a sponsor of the major lobby gathering #EuropeanGasConference for years, until last year together with Gazprom. #blockgas#endgas#w2803

Even in times of massive social and ecological crises, OMV continues to sponsor the #EuropeanGasConference! OMV will not stop doing business with fossil energies until we stop them!
It is no coincidence that the European Gas Conference is taking place in Vienna. OMV wants to use this event to gain billions from investors such as BlackRock and influence political decisions.
OMV *doubled* its profits in 2022. Even during mega inflation and in the climate crisis, OMV continues to adhere to its fossil fuel business model and continues to invest primarily in *new* fossil infrastructure, such as the Neptune Deep Offshore Platform in the Black Sea.

OMV and other fossil corporations are perpetrators of fossil crimes. Their locked-door deals lock in climate desaster and colonialism. They are responsible for environmental destruction and human rights violations!
OMV Petrom in Romania are responsible for the death of a child who was poisoned with gas near one of the companies gas wells. A few years later, another child was killed in the same way.
OMV Petrom was also found guilty in court for causing dangerous amounts of air pollution and falling short on even minimal measures for green house gas reduction.
Liebe Genoss:innen, vielen der heute festgenommen Aktivist:innen, wird "schwere gemeinschaftliche Gewalt" (§ 274 StGB) vorgeworfen. Dieser wird auch oft als Ermittlungsparagraph eingesetzt.
Das heißt, er wird herangezogen um Aktivist:innen gleich einmal für bis zu 48h im Polizeianhaltezentrum (PAZ) festhalten zu können, auch wenn er später oft fallengelassen wird.
Auch in diesem Fall entbehren die Vorwürfe jeglicher Grundlage. Es ist ein Skandal, dass dadurch die Klimabewegung ein weiteres Mal kriminalisiert wird.

Protesters taking the streets around the #EuropeanGasConference demand an end to the destructive fossil projects being planned behind closed doors at the EGC and call for comprehensive changes in order to create a just energy system. #EndGas#BlockGas#w2703 2/x
The corporations and investors meeting at the #EuropeanGasConference are wrecking our climate and chaining us to an energy system that means high energy bills for the many but only high profits for themselves. #endgas#blockgas#w2703 3/x (C) Max Sabitzer
