VeranstalterInnen verurteilen Sprayaktionen vor dem geplanten Multikulti-Ball

In der Nacht vor dem für Samstag geplanten Multikulti-Ball, der aufgrund der tragischen Ereignisse in der Grazer Innenstadt abgesagt wurde, kam es auf Asphaltflächen am Campus der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz zu Schmieraktionen. An mehreren Stellen wurde der Schriftzug „Multikulti stoppen“ aufgesprayt. Die VeranstalterInnen – Afro-Asiatisches Institut, Karl Franzens-Universität und Die Organisation/La Strada – sind bestürzt darüber und verurteilen mit aller Entschiedenheit derartige Aktionen, die auch die Sicherheitsüberlegungen für den Ball beeinflusst haben.
Der Multikulti-Ball ist ein wichtiges Zeichen für das friedliche Miteinander von Kulturen, Religionen und Traditionen. Toleranz und Dialog sind wesentliche Botschaften des Festes, das auch in Zukunft an der Universität Graz Platz finden wird. Rechtliche Schritte werden geprüft.
