The Local (Austria)
http://www.thelocal.at/20150929/identitarian-activists-block-border-crossing-in-immigration-protestAround 50 members of the right-wing Identitarian Movement of Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreich) blocked the Spielfeld border crossing in protest against policies they say encourage mass immigration to Europe over the weekend. Evan Thomas spoke to some of the activists, who said they are frustrated by the recent refugee crisis and plan to continue carrying out acts of civil disobedience. This media-savvy organization, primarily made up of college students, is changing the nationalist scene in Europe through their defiant, but nonviolent tactics ... The Identitarians have established themselves as an alternative, aiming to be a "patriotic Greenpeace-type organization", as their Vienna-branch leader Martin Sellner puts it.
