These incidents are taking place in Vienna’s city centre: videos show a dozen men performing oriental folk dances on the Kärntnerstrasse street and partially blocking the pedestrian zone. “This is not Vienna anymore”, and “What happened to Austria?”, users comment.
“Mashalla” is what numerous users are commenting under a video that is currently going viral on the social media platform “TikTok”. It shows a dozen young men of Arab descent dancing on Vienna’s Kärntnerstraße. They are blocking a wide area of the pedestrian zone, hundreds of people have gathered to watch the performance.
The video now has 230,000 views and is said to have been recorded in Vienna’s city centre in the past few days. Besides many Arabic comments praising the dances of the compatriots, there are also dismayed comments in German. “This is no longer Vienna,” writes one user. “I think I’m in Syria, not in Vienna,” comments another.
Crowds of this kind can also pose a security risk – eXXpress has already reported on sexual harassment by migrant men in German and Austrian cities, so-called “encirclements”.
