Vienna, Austria. 29th January, 2016. Police shepherd a march held in protest at the annual right-wing 'Akademikerball' taking place on the night in Vienna's Hofburg Palace. Though protests opposing the controversial event are as annual as the ball itself, tensions between left and right are running particularly high in Austria at present in light of the huge increases of asylum-seekers arriving in the country from Syria and elsewhere—an influx that has fed a rise in support for the populist right-wing, anti-immigration Freedom Party of Austria, commonly known as the FPÖ.
