A Belgian court has ruled that even “factually correct” statements can constitute criminal hate speech if used to “incite hatred.”

The ruling came as anti-migration activist Dries Van Langenhove was convicted for a second time over remarks linking mass migration to crime.

This is Van Langenhove’s second such conviction, following a speech he delivered at a university in Leuven in February 2024, in which he linked mass migration to crime.

The activist on Tuesday quoted the judge as writing in his ruling:

Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.

Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek described the judge’s comments as proof that the establishment is “criminalising the truth.” She called on European conservatives to “come together” in Van Langenhove’s defence.

Former German MP Frauke Petry also criticised the ruling as “completely insane,” asking:

What have the politicians made of this beautiful Europe?
And Rod Dreher said the “staggering” conviction raised the question: “Why do people stand for it?”

The news has even gained the attention of U.S. under secretary of state Sarah B. Rogers, who warned: “Policymakers worried about the rise of the so-called ‘far right’ should avoid criminalising accurate, data-driven political speech about mass migration—as this ruling appears to explicitly contemplate.”

Doing so means that people willing to be convicted of ‘racism’ get a monopoly on making arguments that strike large segments of the public as important and true.
Van Langenhove said he avoided prison only because of what he described as a “technicality” in Belgian law.
 
But expected.

The Eurocuck left is losing its grip on power as thier disastrous policies bring thier citizens to ruin. So naturally they start to squeeze all the tighter trying to hold onto power for just a few years more at any price.
Lmao, more like they're running victory laps. What are the disarmed peons gonna do? Put on some hi-vis vests and whine?
 
So, scientific evidence and statistics are now against the law? Galileo must be rotating violently counterclockwise in his grave!
yes. in many euroshit countries its literally illegal to say anything that could convince someone to think "hmm, maybe [browns/muzzies/jeets/fags/trannies] are kind of a problem." notably white people in general or natural citizens and nationals are not one of these protected categories in their own country. not that there is necessarily an exception that excludes them from these laws, but rather the traitorous partisan faggot judges dont give a shit.

they pretend its similar to how the first amendment doesnt protect threats or incitement of violence, except in eurostan hatred is also considered violence, and any criticism or even neutral factual statements that portray any minority in a negative light can be seen as incitement if the judge is enough of a fucking queer.
 
Why is Europe so fucked? Can any of you that live there tell me if this kind of stuff is viewed positively by the majority of the population?
I confirm there are a significant number of people concerned with the current European Establishment, especially in the Eastern Europe.

It 's just that people, including me, self - censor so we don't suffer reputation loss, even if we what we say isn't illegal.
The only people agreeing with this with no reservation are far gone and indoctrinated, it's definitely not the norm. But they set up this hostile culture in the West.

Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium and Sweden are one of the more pozzed countries of the EU.
Belgium is really pozzed, but it's talked less because it is a smaller country, where many people don't live there and just go to work there.
