In Brussels, the National Conservatism Conference featuring prominent conservative figures such as Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman was forcibly shut down by police on orders from the left-wing local mayor. The conference, which also expected speakers like Viktor Orban, faced significant opposition, leading to its closure on grounds of creating a 'public disturbance'. This action has sparked widespread criticism, with accusations of suppressing free speech and democratic rights in a city known as the capital of Europe. The police intervention occurred while Farage was delivering a speech at the third venue, and the organizers were given just 15 minutes notice to cease the event.
