Leuven cancels Filip Dewinter lecture over NSV! publicity breach; Dewinter calls it pretext

The city of Leuven canceled a scheduled lecture by Vlaams Belang leader Filip Dewinter, citing a breach of agreement by the organizing nationalist student association NSV! for publicizing the event in advance. Dewinter dismisses the reason as a 'red herring' and says NSV! will appeal to the Council of State. The incident highlights ongoing tensions over far-right speech in Belgian municipalities.
