Union-led demonstrators from rail, education, culture, public services and other sectors marched in Brussels ahead of the government’s budget announcement. Students, refugee-rights advocates and artists also joined, connecting labour and purchasing-power demands with education access and social protection. Police estimated 30,000 participants while unions reported 50,000. Most of the main march was peaceful; clashes involving some young protesters took place at the margins. Organisers argued that workers, pensioners and low-income households were being made to pay for austerity.
