Belgian police, ‘yellow jacket‘ protesters clash in Brussels

BRUSSELS: Police and hundreds of so-called yellow jackets protesting high taxes and living costs clashed in Brussels on Friday and dozens were arrested, as the movement that started in France two weeks ago gained traction in .

Police fired tear gas and water cannons on protesters who tried to approach government buildings and offices in downtown Brussels and threw rocks and paving stones at the barricades.

Interesting how the protest spread to Belgium

It only spread to French-speaking parts of Belgium and only turned violent there. It's no surprise.

Don't say "hop" before you jump.

It can still spread to Flanders soon.

Actually, it's in places where there is a high percentage of people of French origin.

Their demands are laughable, like they want Charles Michel to step down while elections are coming up... They're literally imitating their neighbour.
