Белгия: Брюксел се подготвя за протести от страна на фермерите

Authorities have been taking security measures in preparation for Monday's expected farmers protest outside the European Council and European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Sunday. Streets have been blocked with barbed wire blockades and police in full riot gear are on the scene with police vehicles and a police bulldozer in front of the EU buildings. The first wave of farmers were expected to arrive to Brussels from Germany on Sunday at 16:00 local time (14:00 GMT) but a delay forced them back with police sources stating that they prepared for a spontaneous rally at the EU buildings later in the evening. The official demonstration will start on Monday at 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT) at the North train station in Brussels before marching to the EU headquarters.
