Under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, over a hundred people gathered, brandishing slogans they had prepared earlier, chanting, "Protest," "Protest"...
In the building, there were reporters from various European countries waiting for the conference results, who now started to watch the excitement ensue. The photographers were busy adjusting their cameras, ready to capture this historical moment.
Without any hesitation, Wessenberg immediately ordered a crackdown. Upon receiving orders, the police who had rushed to the scene didn't bother with pleasantries and charged forward with batons, dealing with the protesters as swiftly as possible.
With the protesters gone, Austria's reputation was also tarnished. This premeditated demonstration turned the international conference awkward.
