NOS25 September · 18:141 hour ago

Radical-left students threw cream cakes at Professor Damien Ernst during a class at the University of Liège, Belgium, accusing him of ties to the defense industry. The incident was claimed by the 'Vrai Comité (Populaire) d'Éthique de l'ULiège,' targeting Ernst for his work on AI applications for defense. University leadership and Belgian politicians condemned the attack, with Defense Minister Theo Francken comparing it to the cake incident preceding Pim Fortuyn's murder. Ernst described the event as an aggressive physical assault within a pattern of intimidation from anti-militarist groups.
