In the scandal surrounding racist chants to Gigi D'Agostino's famous party hit, an incriminating video from Lower Austria has now also emerged: At the carnival parade in Mödling, the slogan "Foreigners out!" was shouted to the tune of "L'amour toujours".

Last week, a video became public that caused a stir across Europe: on the German North Sea island of Sylt, numerous locals celebrated to the popular party hit "L'amour toujours" by Italian artist Gigi D'Agostino - and shouted Nazi slogans such as "Germany to the Germans" and "Foreigners out".

A few days later, a video from Carinthia emerged on social media showing very similar scenes. The Carinthian state police launched an investigation.

Investigations are now also underway in Lower Austria. The reason for this is a video that was recorded on a carnival float in Mödling in February. Here, too, racist chants were made to the tune of "L'Amour toujours".

Officials from the State Security and Counter-Extremism Office are now looking into the matter. They are investigating whether a relevant offense has been committed. If necessary, according to police spokesman Johann Baumschlager, investigations will be directed to the responsible public prosecutor's office.
