The far-left demonstrators attacked the police with bottles and firecrackers, while the president of the European Parliament faction of the Patriots held a book launch in the Hungarian House in Brussels.
The extreme left attacks freedom of speech again. In Brussels, in front of the Hungarian House, far-left activists organized a violent demonstration, throwing bottles and firecrackers at the police in order to disrupt the book launch of the French right-wing politician Jordan Bardella, the president of the Patriots for Europe EP faction. So much for the famous freedom of speech in Brussels, wrote Balázs Orbán, the Prime Minister's political director, who also attached a video to the summary.
According to Le Soir's report, anti-fascist protesters appeared in the vicinity of the Magyar Ház half an hour before the book launch, and soon after clashed with the police, who responded with tear gas and water cannons.
L'Echo writes about a crowd of hundreds of people, several of whom arrived at the scene with signs "The extreme right embraces" and then began to riot while demanding that "Brussels stay anti-fascist". La Minute asked Bardella what he thought of the demonstration, to which he replied:
"There are those in Europe who would like Europe to become a country of dictatorship and only their ideas would be realized".
This is not the first time that in Brussels, the capital of the European Union, they are unable to organize an event safely and without disorder. As you remember,
in the capital of the European Union, Brussels law enforcement agencies were unable to protect a pro-peace, anti-migration conference - even then the far-left anti-fascists went on the attack.
In Brussels, the most important leaders of the continent and even the world visit every day, sometimes at the same place, at the same time - accordingly, in 2024, for example, according to official data, the local police will be able to manage with more resources than ever before, 161 million euros, which in recent years could have bought tens of millions of euros new equipment and tools.
Based on the first images, the anti-fascist protesters brought the same molino as when they disrupted the NatCon conference - and they didn't leave the rainbow flags at home either.
Bardella's book "What I'm Looking For" is number one on the sales list on Amazon in France, but some organizations have done everything to prevent it from being popularized: according to a report by Liberation, the French national railway company, SNCF, for example, has decided to disregard economic arguments he is not even willing to discuss the advertising spaces he owns, because he does not want to promote the "extreme right-wing campaign".
According to information from La Minute, the Bardellás approached the Hungarian representation in order to hold the book launch in the beautifully renovated Hungarian House for the sake of the French minority living in Belgium.
