Austrian President Heinz Fischer has withdrawn an award from a far-right leader who allegedly likened his supporters to Jews under the Nazis.
Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache was said to have made the remarks after protesters picketed a controversial far-right Vienna ball.
The event was widely criticised as it was held on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger told reporters that he was "profoundly disgusted" by Mr Strache's words.
