Major trade unions CSC-ACV and FGTB-ABVV are holding protests in Belgium on Friday against the federal government’s proposed budget plans. The unions warn that ordinary citizens will once again bear the brunt of the economic measures. As protesters gathered near Bruxelles Central Station Friday morning, a group dressed in black sought confrontation. Brussels Time reports the demonstrations are a response to concerns over the impact of the budget on working-class families. The situation escalated with violence, as seen in available video footage, though the extent of injuries is currently unclear. Further details are emerging as the protests continue in Bruxelles.
