Socialist Belgian mayor orders police to shut down event featuring Cardinal Müller, Orbán, Farage - Find and read info in text underneath video

BRUSSELS, Belgium (LifeSiteNews) — Police were ordered to shut down the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels under the pretext of guaranteeing “public safety.”

The conference features many prominent guests such as Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, Brexit initiator Nigel Farage, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour and previous UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

Emir Kir, the Socialist mayor of Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, the municipality in which the event location is situated, ordered the police to shut down the conference, allegedly to “guarantee public safety.”

“In Etterbeek, Brussels City and Saint-Josse, the far-right is not welcome. The far right is not welcome,” Kir added.

Ironically, Kir, who is the son of Turkish immigrants, was expelled from the Belgian Socialist Party in 2020 for meeting with Turkish politicians of the “far-right” Nationalist Movement Party (NHP) party, who, according to ADF International, support the Erdogan government in Turkey “responsible for cracking down on religious freedom and expelling Christian residents from the country.”

According to Politico, a police officer told one of the organizers that “(t)he authorities decided to shut the event due to possibility of public disorder.”

Anthony Gilland, chief of staff of the conservative think tank MCC and one of the local organizers, told Politico that one of the reasons the police gave for shutting down the event was that counterprotests are scheduled in the afternoon and that the police could not guarantee the safety of the participants.

Paul Coleman, executive director of ADF International who has provided legal counsel to NatCon, shared an English translation of the police order on X. The document, issued by Mayor Kir, also names the “ethically conservative” position espoused by speakers at NatCon, “e.g., hostility to legalized abortion, same-sex unions, etc.” as reasons the conference had to be shut down.
