The Austrian grannies taking on the far right
Austria鈥檚 deputy leader Heinz-Christian Strache raised eyebrows by saying that his party was fighting against the 鈥渞eplacement鈥 of the native population - a term associated with right-wing extremists.
But while far-right groups have been growing in popularity in the country - as across Europe - an unlikely band of activists is now fighting back.
Grannies Against the Right now has several hundred members. Its founder is 71-year-old Monika Salzer.
