On Thursday December 1st, Filip Dewinter is invited by the KVHV to give a lecture at the UGent on the population theory. This theory is not an opinion but a racist conspiracy theory that was one of the reasons for the holocaust. Dewinter propagates a theory of white supremacists who claim that their own people and their culture are in danger of falling and being replaced by immigrants. This is a call for hatred, dehumanisation and violence and has no place in a democratic society.
With a broad platform of students, lecturers of the UGent and representatives of the civil society in Ghent, we oppose the normalization of the extreme right and warn for the dangers of the repopulation theory. 0On Thursday, December 1st, the evening of the lecture, we organize a march through the student district of Ghent. Afterwards we will organize the closing event 'Nie pleuje voor haat en racisme' with artists and speakers. Welcome!
