AustriaA group led by artist Alon Ishay participated in a performance art event at Vienna's controversial Karl-Lueger monument, which was recently renovated and repositioned. During the event, they used water-soluble chalk footprints and 'Shame' stickers to critique Lueger, who was a known antisemite during his tenure as mayor. The police intervened with multiple vehicles and around 15–20 officers, ending the action and filing charges against Ishay and others for disturbing public order and potential serious property damage. The police also threatened to charge them for the cost of the operation. After the police left, Ishay faced antisemitic abuse from a passerby, who called him a 'Jewish pig' and accused him of being a disgrace to Austria.
