In Brussels after the riots arrested 20 people, including 13 minors

In Brussels, as a result of youth riots that ended in clashes with police, 20 people were arrested, including 13 minors. It's from sb.by.

The clashes began in the middle of the day during a permitted demonstration against falling living standards in Belgium, which was attended by about 50,000 people, primarily public sector workers, including the police. A number of student and school organizations protesting the reform, which restricts funding for the education system, joined the action.

According to the statement of the police, it was groups of young people, mainly minors, who became the main participants in clashes with the police, which occurred near the Central Station. The teenagers threw bottles and firecrackers at law enforcement officers, damaged several buses and cars, and set fire to garbage containers.

Although Belgium has its own reasons for schoolchildren’s discontent, the example of demonstrations in Paris, widely covered in the media and social networks, has become an important factor in raising the degree of protests.
