Childcare sector workers and civil society groups to demonstrate in central Brussels, Nov. 22. Attendees will gather at Place de l'Albertine at 10:30, and then march, to arrive at Gare du Midi at around 13:00. Organizers demand increased government investment in the childcare sector. Authorities predict that several thousand will take part.
Police will likely deploy to monitor and facilitate the demonstration. Heightened security and associated road closures are likely to cause localized traffic disruptions. The protests are likely to pass off peacefully.
Avoid all demonstrations as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Check public transport schedules and local traffic conditions for disruptions before beginning journeys; allow extra time to reach destinations in central Brussels.
