Footage from the Belgian capital shows smoke bellowing across the city, after farmers set fire to tyres, resulting in police firing water cannons to put out the flames.
Protesting farmers, who drove their tractors into the heart of the city and filled streets with manure, are angry at low food prices, cheap imports and new EU environmental measures.
Barbed wire was also placed outside EU institutions where agriculture ministers were due to gather.

A baguette costs 2 - 4 € here, how is food price low?
These farmers are idiots and are protesting the government instead of the corporations paying them low prices and making massive profits
Ah but who do you think pays for the protests and meetings and such? In the Netherlands they had build a stage at a demonstration which was literally sponsored by a big agro company. Its all just a way to get their foot more into politics.
