Supporters of Austria's Identitarian Movement (Identitäre Bewegung), a far-right organization, march through the streets of Vienna carrying a banner that reads "Resistance cannot be banned." The movement is part of the broader radical right network across Europe, advocating for nationalist and anti-immigration policies. Their demonstrations, like the one shown here, aim to resist what they perceive as threats to European identity due to globalization and immigration. These actions have sparked significant controversy and criticism, with many viewing the group’s rhetoric as promoting division and xenophobia.
