Racist "L'amour toujours" Chants in Upper Austria

In a venue in Gosau, Upper Austria, guests allegedly sang a racially altered version of the hit "L'amour toujours" while participants of a Freedom Youth event were present, as shown in a leaked video. A statement from the Freedom Youth is still pending, and no police report has been filed so far.

Guests of a venue in Gosau, Upper Austria, allegedly sang "L'amour toujours" with the lyrics "Germany for the Germans, foreigners out!" on Saturday. This was reported by the "Oberösterreichische Nachrichten" (OÖN) in their Wednesday edition. They received a video of the incident. Participants of a Freedom Youth (FJ) event were also said to have been present in the venue. No statement was available from them.

Freedom Youth also on site

In recent months, the global hit by Italian musician Gigi D'Agostino has repeatedly been altered with racist lyrics and sung, the most well-known incident being documented in May of the previous year on Sylt. The musician has distanced himself from this.

Now, the OÖN received a video in which similar chants can be heard, allegedly recorded in a venue in Gosau (district of Gmunden). Additional tension: Guests of the venue were also said to include several participants of the "Setting Signs" seminar by the Freedom Youth, which also took place in the Salzkammergut community. An inquiry by the OÖN to the FJ remained unanswered. The APA also requested a statement, but has not yet received a response.

Venue tried to turn off music

According to the newspaper article, the waiters of the venue repeatedly tried to change the music, which was being played via a mobile phone connected to the speakers. "The action was immediately stopped. We don't want that here either," the venue operator is quoted as saying. According to other guests, the singers were a group of non-local individuals, according to the OÖN. "The politicians kept to themselves. There were also some who were much older than 19, they wore blue shirts and side partings," said a young woman from Gosau in an interview with the newspaper.

No report so far

No report has been filed with the police in Bad Goisern, according to the press office of the Upper Austria State Police Directorate in response to an APA inquiry. However, there was a report because tires on an FPÖ vehicle were punctured. An investigation is underway for property damage against unknown perpetrators. This incident was made public by the Freedom Youth Tyrol on their Facebook page, where they suspect "the left-wing lunatics."
