At the site of the attack, which resulted in the deaths of four people in the heart of the Austrian capital, flowers were placed and candles were lit while the circles drawn by investigators were still visible on the ground, but the movement returned on Wednesday for the morning.
The subways and trams witnessed an active movement, while the stores returned to receive customers and the children returned to take the road to school. Only restaurants remain closed due to second closure measures.
Residents of the capital were asked to stay home Tuesday for fear of a second attacker in the city, but authorities have already ruled out this threat.
“The information that we have at this time indicates that there was an attacker who was controlled by our personnel,” said the capital’s security director, Frantz Rove.
The Austrian government announced that French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Vienna on Monday to meet with the Austrian adviser and discuss the fight against terrorism.
“A short visit was agreed on Monday night to discuss jihadist issues and the protection of the external borders of Europe, as well as Turkey,” he explained.
The Austrian Chancellor asked the European Union to fight against “political Islam”, considering it “an ideology” that poses “a threat to the European way of life”.
In this context, Kurtz said he was analyzing “joint initiatives” with Macron, who had targeted his country in recent weeks with two fatal attacks.
The perpetrator of the Vienna attack had followed a program of “de-radicalization” and was able to “fool” those responsible for carrying it out, according to Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nihamer.
During his last session on the show, he denounced the attacks in France in recent years, according to Franz Rove.
The forward was born in 2000 south of Vienna and grew up in Austria. As a teenager, he began having problems at school and with his parents and went to a mosque, local newspapers reported Wednesday.
“He considered him a lost soul looking for a place for himself,” said lawyer Nikolaos Rast, who defended him during his trial in April. “He gave the impression that he was calm and closed in on himself. No one thought he could commit such an act.”
On the streets of Vienna, residents do not want to be afraid. “Of course this terrorist act terrified us, but the city remains safe. Terrorism will not destroy our morale,” said Peter Mendodorff Poye, architect at the scene of the attack.
