Watch: Hungary's Orbán Takes Shot At "Muslim Civilization In Europe" As Conservatives Rally Ahead Of Polls

• 5 May 2024 6:01 AM

Brussels’ order to shutdown a European far-right political gathering conference has sparked a new debate about free speech. The gathering of far-right politicians and supporters has resumed, a day after police shut the event down citing concerns about public order.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban slammed the ban in Brussels saying “freedom in Europe is in danger”.

The organisers launched a legal challenge against the authorities in the Belgian capital who feared the event could pose a threat to public order. However, after an overnight legal challenge, a Brussels judge put a stay on the closure order. The court ruled that there was no evidence of a threat to public order from the event itself.
