A controversial seminar titled “Trump’s New World Order” is set to take place at a Thon hotel in Brussels on 2025-05-13 17:20:00. The event, organised by MCC Brussels, features speakers linked to far-right politics, including Guglielmo Picchi from Italy’s Lega Nord. This has sparked significant debate among local activists and political observers.
- Seminarie over ‘Trumps New World Order’ georganiseerd
- Lega Nord-lid spreekt op extreemrechts evenement
- Antifascistische groep PAF waarschuwt voor racisme
- PAF roept hotelketen tot distantie op
- MCC Brussels verbindt met Hongaarse regering
- Antifascisten plannen protest bij Thon EU Hotel
The seminar’s provocative theme questions the future of Europe, asking if it is time to abandon the continent as we know it. With ties to Hungarian government interests, MCC Brussels has drawn sharp criticism from antifascist groups who accuse the organisers of promoting extremist views aligned with Trumpian rhetoric.
Why is this event causing such a stir in Belgium? And how should local institutions respond to hosting organisations with controversial political affiliations? The answers may shape future debates on freedom of speech and political responsibility.
The event raises important questions about the boundaries of political discourse in Belgium. Should venues hosting controversial figures be held accountable for the messages they amplify? Key points to consider include:
- The role of MCC Brussels in promoting far-right ideologies linked to Hungary’s Viktor Orbán regime.
- The impact of hosting these events on Belgium’s reputation as a hub for European institutions.
- The growing activism against platforms that enable extremist views, reflected in planned protests.
As protests loom, Belgian society faces a critical moment to balance free expression with the fight against extremism. Will local authorities and businesses take a stand, or will such seminars continue to challenge Belgium’s democratic values? The coming weeks will be telling.
