Vienna – After the death trip in Magdeburg, security precautions at Christmas markets in Austria are being tightened. From Vienna it was said that the Austrian and German authorities are in close contact, but there is no reference or indication of a threat in Austria in connection with the death trip in Germany. Nevertheless, the extensive security measures at the Christmas markets that have been in place since the beginning of Advent, especially in Vienna, have once again been “intensified to a high level,” said David Pawlik, spokesman for the Vienna State Police Directorate, to the APA on Saturday.
