Several hundred people gathered at Albertine Square after calls from multiple organisations, then marched through Saint-Gilles. Protesters opposed education reforms, cuts to public services and the federal government’s austerity programme; they also denounced police violence during earlier demonstrations. Organiser and speaker Celia Ponce said the action supported young people’s future, better work and public services. Local reporting documented the peaceful opening and later clashes, including use of tear gas; claims and crowd counts are attributed to their sources.
