In Belgium, a third general strike was called by trade unions with the participation of workers from various industries. This is reported by foreign media.
The strike has caused serious disruptions to transport, production and public services and could cause damage of half a billion euros.
Brussels Airlines was forced to suspend air transportation. At the same time, most of the planned 200 flights were canceled. Public transport also operated with low capacity in Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia.
The Belgian trade unions, which have organized a nationwide strike, are opposing the pension reform measures proposed by the federal government, which will lead to lower pensions, higher retirement ages and worse working conditions.
