The President of the Irish Freedom Party has said Nigel Farage is owed an apology after Belgian police were used to close down a conference in Brussels.

Hermann Kelly said the decision to use police was based on the failure of the mayor’s ‘flimsy arguments’ and said today’s behaviour was ‘unconstitutional’.

Speaking on GB News, Hermann Kelly, who was at the event in Brussels, said: “The right to free speech is the foundation of a free and democratic society. The people’s right to express their opinions and their political opinions in the public sphere is a fundamental right and the Prime Minister of Belgium said that this evening.

“What happened was unconstitutional because it undermined the right to free speech and free assembly. They are basic fundamentals of European civilisation.

“Remainers lost the Brexit referendum and now they are looking to undermine the fundamental value of free speech.

“A lot of very important and well known political figures were there, to have a debate and a forum about politics.

“When the Prime Minister of Belgium admits that what happened today was against constitutional rights I think we should wake up and say that what happened was three mayors who don’t have political arguments used the state police to impose their will when their flimsy arguments don’t work.”
