Belgian farmers start fires outside European parliament
More than 1,000 tractor drivers have brought the European Union quarter of Brussels to a standstill as farmers demonstrate against environmental rules while Europe’s leaders hold a crisis meeting.
Protesters lit bonfires, threw eggs at the European parliament and dumped manure to show their anger at EU “green deal” legislation. Scuffles broke out with police next to a barbed-wire security fence.
The farmers also toppled a statue of John Cockerill, a 19th-century Belgian-British industrialist who played a role in Belgium’s industrial revolution. They mistook him for a founding figure of the EU.
