Demonstrations occurred around the country February 5 to protest the swearing in of a coalition government that includes a party with Nazi sympathies.

As many as 250,000 people filled Vienna’s Helden Platz Feb. 19 to protest the new right-wing coalition government. The demonstration was peaceful and opposition leaders plan to hold weekly rallies to pressure the government to drop Jorg Haider from the coalition. Protests also occurred in Brussels and Dublin.
