flag Belgian police used tear gas to disperse tens of thousands of protesters in Brussels on October 14, 2025, during a nationwide strike against Prime Minister Bart de Wever’s proposed austerity measures. flag The demonstration, organized by major trade unions, opposed planned pension and healthcare cuts aimed at addressing a projected 6.5% GDP budget deficit by 2030. flag Protesters blocked roads and transportation hubs, with some clashes involving flares, smoke bombs, and chants against the reforms. flag The government argues the cuts are necessary to stabilize the economy and comply with EU fiscal rules, but labor groups reject them as unfair to workers.
