Le Soir: A Bruxelles, une tour de Babel de la revolte

Published by Colin on 15th December 2001.

The demonstrations yesterday seem to have gone relatively peacefully except for a few splinter groups causing trouble as usual, and police going overboard at the end. Le Soir has quite a positive article about the whole event, in contrast to most of the other news sources that are focusing on the violence. Ironic event of the day: plainclothes policemen inside the crowds of demonstrators were beaten by riot police who mistook them for troublemakers.
