protesters. Protest at that place in Brussels is even downright illegal. I once saw riot police deployed in order to prevent a march reaching government HQ - nothing like that to be seen here.

But, more power to the firemen. It's like with angry farmers - they block roads with tractors, nothing happens.

Thanks for posting, had heard of the protest, but the video is better.
