Protests in Brussels followed those in other European capitals held on Saturday, which were also attended by thousands of people who oppose so-called vaccine passports and other rules imposed by European governments in efforts to end the coronavirus pandemic. .

In Brussels, demonstrators chanted "Freedom!" while marching against blockages. Authorities opposed the protest with all available police forces, special services and the army.
