BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - APRIL 16: Members of the Belgian police enter into the venue in an attempt to cancel the event on Day 1 of The National Conservatism Conference at the Claridge on April 16, 2024 in Brussels, Belgium. The National Conservatism (NatCon) conference, attended by 500 delegates over two days, features speeches from former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, among others. Originally slated for Concert Noble, the venue was changed due to pressure from Brussels Mayor Philippe Close. (Photo by Omar Havana/Getty Images)
No sooner had the totalitarian drama in Brazil started to calm down than a fresh new one erupted in Belgium.
As of 5 p.m. local time today, the local Brussels police were not letting people into an event of conservatives in Brussels. They were letting people exit, but they were not letting them come back in.
The National Conservatism Conference was full of famous conservative political leaders in Europe, including UK Brexit leader Nigel Farage, former UK government Home Secretary Suella Braverman, and French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, who police blocked from entering.
“We are confined in this room in a so-called Western liberal democracy and so it’s completely insane,” independent reporter Matt Goodwin told Public. Suella Braverman, the UK’s former Home Secretary, denounced the “thought police” Said Farage, "This is like the old Soviet Union. No alternative view allowed.”
“It’s literally a siege,” said the Chairman of the National Conservatism conference, Yoram Hazony. “We have here representatives of the leading nationalist, conservative, and right of center parties. And not just politicians but also academics, journalists. These are prominent people. These are not inflammatory people.”"
Dras snaran åt kring Europas konservativa? Det är i direkt strid mot EU:s lagar! Desperationen hos vänstern är alltså så stor att man sätter demokratin helt ur spel. Hela artikel kan läsas i Substacks App. Sök på Shellenberger då Public tycks vara skuggbannat! Det trodde jag inte om Substack.
