The contentious Great Replacement theory went under debate last week at the Katholieke Universiteit (KU) of Leuven, Belgium’s largest university. But protesters tried to shut it down.
The main target of the protesters was the controversial Filip Dewinter, an MP in the Flemish Parliament for the nationalist Vlaams Belang, who has been active in promoting the Great Replacement theory in Flanders—through his book Omvolking, or ‘Repopulation’ in English. He was invited by the Liberal Flemish Students’ Association (LVSV) to debate another MP, Maurice Vande Reyde of the liberal Open Vld party, on Monday evening, March 13th.
