In Brussels, more than one hundred thousand people took part in a protest action by Belgian trade unions against the reforms of the federal government. This is reported by foreign media.
The nationwide strike was organized at the call of Belgium's largest trade unions (FGBT/ABVV, CSC/ACV and CGSLB/ACLVB) with the participation of airport employees, public transport, including railway and bus passenger transport companies, as well as public utilities workers.
Since 2025, Belgian trade unions have regularly held national strikes and protests against right-wing policies aimed at reducing pensions and social benefits, as well as limiting the paid period of unemployment and salary increases.
