Several hundred gathered in the centre of Brussels on Sunday afternoon for the Day of Justice demonstration. Most of them are citizens already mobilized against the corona measures, but their dissatisfaction is not limited to the management of the health crisis.
Inflation and energy prices are also at the centre of their grievances. The procession aimed to bring together citizens from across the country, but also Dutch, French and Germans. A large group is made up of Flemish nationalist activists.
Some wore a lion of Flanders mixed with a Celtic cross, others clearly show their support for Project Thule, an initiative of soldier Tomas Boutens, a far-right soldier convicted of terrorism.

All are particularly upset by politicians but also the media. The demonstration set off from the Gare du Nord towards the Atomium, where speeches are planned. No incidents have been announced for the moment.
