NatCon conference shut down in Brussels

[Iamnotkloot]

Seems like a PR coup for the right, probably the opposite of what the socialist major intended….

But as per your link it's not shut down, a court ruled that the laws in Belgium “grant everyone the right to assemble peacefully” and so the show goes on.

Yesterday was obviously a mess and the scenes from inside showed they'd struggled to get much of an audience anyway but Viktor Orbán was the headliner so presumably it'll be packed (capacity 750?) today?

I’m confused. I thought hardline conservatives were in favour of suppressing freedom of expression and protest and the like. Braverman certainly loved it.

So the Nat C's are on the move in Europe.

Very good

I am surprised they didn't host it in St Petersburg. Putin would have given them all a very warm welcome.

You'd think Kir would understand the concept of optics, and that he was dealing with agroup revel in/make great hay from victimhood. Utter clown.

If I think that the Greens are the most deluded and dangerous political group in the UK, can I have their conference raided and shut down?

How about the actual communist party, rather than the green version - ok to raid them?

The Lib Dems?

The Labour conference with all its mad corbynite fringe sessions?

What's the criteria that is to be applied? Because if it's just 'people I disagree with', then the BiB are going to be busy in conference season.

Agreed. A group of people have may have views that are rather vile but as long as they're not doing anything illegal there's no reason to try and shut them down.

The criteria (set by the lefties) will be anyone who doesnt toe the line with their socialist thinking. Every week it feels the western world becomes a less democratic place (PH included).

Damn lefties like Braverman trying to stop marches and ban the homeless from living in tents. Where will these communists stop?

Which party has made it more difficult than vote? Which party introduced ID requirements in order to vote?

Yep, those damn lefties...

(AIUI) the attempt by the Mayor to ban the meeting was overturned by a Belgian court which is how things are supposed to work in a democracy.

If you want to look at places or people which are becoming less democratic and more authoritarian you might first want to have a look at the people who were attending the conference (e.f the likes of Zemmour, Braverman, Orban etc)

Those annoying lefties with trying to make the world a less democratic place with their socialist thinking.
