Mayor Philippe Close, who pressured a venue in Belgium on Tuesday, last June welcomed tjhe Tehran mayor to a summit alongside a number of global counterparts.
Farage was among speakers at the disrupted event in Brussels on Tuesday. Mayors in the Belgian city tried to cancel the conference, 'pressuring' venuesThe Brussels mayor who tried to block a right-wing conference attended by Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman on Tuesday once hosted an Iran ian politician since sanctioned by the UK and implicated in 'rights violations or abuses' in Iran .
Zakani, an ultra-conservative within Iran, was soon after placed on the UK's sanctions list, 'because he is and has been involved in the commission of serious human rights violations or abuses in Iran'. Zakani was among 162 individuals named in a financial sanctions document published by HM Treasury in December, alongside various politicians accused of complicity or involvement in torture, violations of human rights and abuse.
Mayor Close, also at the event last summer, joined Emir Kir, the mayor of Brussels' Saint-Josse district, and Vicent de Wolf, the liberal mayor of Etterbeek, this Tuesday in pushing to obstruct the conservative conference attended by Farage. Kir was himself thrown out of the socialist part in Brussels in 2020 after meeting with politicians from Turkey's far-right.
