Belgium: Protesters plan to march in central Brussels from 13:00 Dec. 4

Event

Various social, civil, and labor activists plan to march in central Brussels Dec. 4 to demand policy changes to taxation and affordable housing and energy prices. Protesters will gather outside Brussels-North Station starting at 13:00 before marching to Central Station. Hundreds to a few thousand people could participate in the action.

Heightened security, as well as, localized business and transport disruptions, are likely. Temporary road closures and delays to road public transport services are possible along the march route. While the protest will probably pass peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and activists remain possible, especially if demonstrators are overly disruptive.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration due to possible skirmishes. Check public transport schedules and local traffic conditions before beginning journeys the afternoon of Dec. 4; allow extra time to reach destinations in the city center. Heed instructions of authorities.
