[MMC]

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian police fired tear gas and water cannons at yellow-vested protesters calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Charles Michel after they tried to breach a riot barricade, as the movement that started in France made its mark Saturday in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Protesters in Brussels threw paving stones, road signs, fireworks, flares and other objects at police blocking their entry to an area where Michel’s offices, other government buildings and the parliament are located.

Brussels police spokeswoman Ilse Van de Keere said that around 400 protesters were gathered in the area."

Well according to some Frenchman that Hewitt was interviewing. It is being orchestrated by Activists using social media and they don't know who all of them are.

Probably more than one group.

Wait and watch.

Instead, protesters appeared to hail at least in part from a populist movement that is angry at government policy in general and what it sees as the widening gulf between mainstream politicians and the voters who put them in power. Some in Belgium appeared intent only on confronting police.

Walking behind a banner reading “social winter is coming,” the protesters chanted ”(French President Emmanuel) Macron, Michel resign.”

“Our children are hard-working people but they have to pay taxes everywhere. You can’t get housing anymore. It is not going well in Dutch society,” Ieneke said. “The social welfare net we grew up with is gone,” she said.

“The government is not there for the people. It is there to protect its own interests,” she said.

Yeah, we will have to wait and watch to find out if Putin put that Dutch editor in the Netherlands decades ago.

That's a proven now.....still you were correct about the cultural aspect. Even the French millennials aren't happy about paying more and more taxes for, everything. Which is how the French Economist put it.

It's funny how when protests are occuring in other countries against a liberal government, the hard right will work hard to prove it is organic, but when protests occur here against Trump, it has to be Soros funded....

I like it. Winter is coming. The people are the white walkers. I hope we can sweep away the leftist politicians, their socialist agitators and the vast numbers of sponges.
