Things got rough today in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium. People gathered in the streets to protest against the government.
The situation turned into a fight. Police had to step in because the crowds were not stopping. To get control of the streets, police used tear gas and water cannons. These are tools used to push back large groups of people who are causing trouble or refusing to leave an area.
There were reports of multiple protests happening in the city. Some were described as anti-government demonstrations, while other reports mentioned large groups of anti-fascist protesters. Students were also spotted joining in on the demonstrations.
Right now, the streets in the area are tense. The police are working to clear the protesters and keep the city safe. We will keep you updated if we hear more about what exactly caused the protests or if more trouble starts.
