Belgium: Non-profit sector workers to demonstrate in Brussels June 2

Event

Non-profit workers plan to demonstrate in central Brussels June 2 to demand additional government support for the sector. Participants will gather at Brussels-North Station before marching to Place Jean Rey at 10:30; attendance will likely be in the hundreds.

Additional police will deploy to monitor and facilitate the action. Large crowds and associated security measures, including road closures and movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions along the march route. Public transport normally routed through the area may be canceled or diverted. The action is likely to pass peacefully, though isolated clashes with security services cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in central Brussels June 2.
