The controversial gathering will continue as planned.

The court rules 'No', but its another sign that the EU could still turn towards silencing dissent. Young government. Who knows what will happen?

Nothing to do with the EU, just a mayor (wrongly IMHO) banning a far right rally. Plays into the nutjobs hands.

It was the Commune of Brussels, I guess.
But the EU is really going to change. Because the next European Commission will be needing the vote of all Conservatives, including the so called "far-right" people...so this old EU is over. It has a month of life, then many people will move to the Caribbean, I guess.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the EU. In fact, it's barely news.

Mayors, and other local politicians, make such decisions all the time. Be it for political gatherings, raves, gay pride events, what-have-you.
Sometimes, they overstep their jurisdiction or misapply laws at their disposal. If the organizers of the events feel that that is what happened, then they can bring the case to court and then the court will review it and make a ruling. Everyone involved is expected to then follow that ruling.

This is exactly what happened here. The only reason this is considered news (and why it reaches international public) is because in this particular case it involves the highly controversial figures Orban and Farange. That is all.

And I'm not surprised at all that you once again jump on it and abuse it to spew your anti-EU rethoric.
Quite typical if you ask me.
