During a gathering of right-wing leaders, Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, called for a shake-up in leadership in Brussels. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the EU’s policies on migration and Ukraine, highlighting the need for substitution if the current leadership proves to be insufficient. Orbán’s goal is to guide the EU towards a more conservative path following the upcoming European election, which is anticipated to witness a surge in conservative backing. These statements were made at the National Conservatism Conference, where he drew parallels between police intervention and oppression in communist Hungary.

The event took place at the Claridge, a conveniently situated venue close to the European Quarter. However, the atmosphere quickly turned chaotic when the local authorities unexpectedly arrived, in response to the mayor’s request, in an attempt to shut down the gathering.
Despite the commotion caused by the police presence, the organizers managed to carry on with the conference on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the police stationed themselves at the entrance, prohibiting any new participants from entering.
Fortunately, a Belgian court later overturned the mayor’s instruction, permitting the conference to proceed without any further interruptions on Wednesday.
