The deployment of water cannons reflected the heightened tensions as around 300 left-wing demonstrators gathered in Brussels in protest against far-right politician Jordan Bardella's arrival.
Local media reported that the protests included slogans against police actions and fireworks, indicating a strong opposition to Bardella's presence and the perceived threat of far-right politics.
As Bardella presented his memoir, protests escalated, leading demonstrators to target the Vlaams Belang headquarters, suggesting a broader discontent with far-right parties within Belgium.
Bardella's memoir release has sparked controversy amid ongoing legal issues for other National Rally party members, adding complexity to the political landscape surrounding the event.
