Brussels mayor gives Europe’s hard-right a free hit before EU election – POLITICO

Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli of the ruling far-right Likud party likened what he described as a tyrannical woke agenda to a different kind of totalitarianism, rubbing shoulders with jihadist terror.

“They are hiding behind so-called liberal values, but the nature of this movement is illiberal,” he told POLITICO.

Captivated audience

For two days, the conference was animated by expressions such as “nihilistic atheism”, “the globalist socialist agenda”, “gender ideology”, “Bolshevism” and “activist judges in Strasbourg”, Who flew from the stage around the cramped space.

Farage, closely followed by security guards, raged against the UK’s new smoking ban, did a few Donald Trump impersonations and, on Wednesday, stood backstage laughing in admiration as that Orbán was explaining why Central Europe has historically been wary of supranational political structures.

“Mr Orbán has chosen a new subject for his campaign: freedom. The city here was very stupid,” said Attila K. Molnar, director of the National University of Civil Service in Budapest.

On social media, Farage also blasted the mayor on Wednesday afternoon.
