Belgian Farmers Protest | Angry Farmers Clash With Police Near EU Headquarters | Belgian News | N18L Farmers set fire to piles of tyres in Brussels on Monday in a protest to demand action on cheap supermarket prices and free trade deals, as agricultural ministers from across the EU met to discuss the crisis in the sector. Riot police fired water cannon at protesters throwing bottles and eggs, while about 900 tractors jammed parts of Brussels, a short distance from the cordoned off area where ministers were meeting. Farmers have been protesting for weeks across Europe to demand action from policymakers on an array of pressures they say the sector is under - from cheap supermarket prices, to low-cost imports that undercut local producers, to strenuous EU environmental rules. Another protest took place on Monday in Madrid, where farmers from across Spain blew whistles, rang cowbells and beat drums, urging the EU to cut red tape and drop some changes to its Common Agriculture Policy (CAP). #belgium #belgiumfarmers #belgiumprotest #news18live #cnnnews18live n18oc_world n18oc_live
