Fed-up Farmers Clash with Cops in Brussels amid crunch Ukraine talks ~ VIDEO

LIBERATE EUROPE FROM GLOBALISM

Action replay in Europe. The emerging Solidarity movement activists are reminiscent of the collapse of the Soviet Bloc and splintered European society.

Protesters accuse the unelected EU talking heads political elite of sacrificing their livelihoods to push trade deals.

Violent clashes erupted in Brussels on Thursday. Thousands of farmers descended on the EU quarter.

They blocked roads with tractors and confronted riot police outside the European Parliament. The protests were fueled by mounting anger over trade policy and farming reforms.

The event started as a mass demonstration against proposed changes to the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy. It also protested a controversial free-trade agreement with the South American Mercosur bloc. However, it quickly spiraled into chaos.

Footage circulating on social media showed thick black smoke from burning tyres and hay. It filled nearby streets. Tractors pushed through police barriers. They brought parts of the city to a halt.

Protesters smashed windows near the parliament buildings. They hurled rocks, potatoes, and other objects at police. The police responded with tear gas and water cannons.

Police charged demonstrators. At least one protester was seen being knocked to the ground and beaten by cops as state police attempted to clear the area.

Belgian authorities said the protest had been authorized for a limited number of tractors. By early afternoon, around 1,000 vehicles had flooded the capital. Police estimated roughly 7,000 protesters in total.

By evening, police had regained partial control of the area, though tractors and demonstrators continued to occupy parts of the city.

The demonstration coincided with an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, where the long-delayed Mercosur trade deal was again under discussion.

Farmers across Belgium, France, and other EU states fear the agreement would open the door to cheaper agricultural imports from South America, undercutting European producers who must comply with stricter environmental and animal welfare standards.

European Commission the unelected President Ursula von der Leyen, said the Mercosur pact would not be signed this weekend. The controversial treaty had been postponed until next month. Critics of the deal cautioned the delay amounted to only a temporary reprieve rather than a reversal.
