The National Conservatism Conference in Brussels was shut down as Nigel Farage started speaking, with the local mayor saying the far-right 'aren't welcome'.
Nigel Farage said police would 'have to drag me off stage' after officers moved to shut down the National Conservatism conference in Brussels. Local officials arrived as the former Brexit Party leader was finishing a speech at the event, which is also due to hear from Hungary's pro-Putin leader Viktor Orbán and two Conservative MPs.
However, they later said they 'would not be dragging people out' and instead the tactic was to stop anyone new entering the venue. He said this is the third venue chosen by conference organisers, after two others cancelled at the last minute 'due to political pressure'. Mr Farage said that police would have to 'drag me off stage' and 'it's a pity they didn't'.
