Outrageous that a Brussels Mayor would shut down the speech of mainstream conservatives at #NatConBrussels2, specifically because of their views. Free speech is on life support in Europe—and this is how it dies. (1) Smear speakers as being “disrespecters of human rights.” (2) Issue vague warnings that their speech might create “public disorder.” (3) Swiftly shut it down. The truth: this Mayor is just trying to shut down speech he personally doesn’t like. That's tyranny.
