Should we expect a black Friday on the roads of Brussels?

If the "official" demonstration of the yellow vests in Brussels this Friday has been canceled, a mobilization should still see the day in the streets of the capital … at the risk of disrupting traffic.

The yellow vests had applied to protest in the streets of Brussels this Friday, November 30. The authorization had been given, the procession had to leave from the Cinquantenaire around 13h towards the roundabout Schuman and the street of the Law.

But the event was canceled, announced the organizer of it Monday night, failing to meet the requirements of the security services. It was indeed necessary a steward for fifty participants. The event is postponed to an unknown date.

That's for the event. Because however, mobilization is planned this Friday always, in Brussels. But it will not be framed or organized, which complicates the task of law enforcement. Impossible, therefore, to estimate how big this gathering will be, although Gary Ducran, organizer of the canceled demo, plans "that there will be people". The yellow vest also said on Facebook have just "canceled the event, the mobilization of yellow vests is still relevant".

On the side of the Brussels-Ixelles police zone, "we follow the situation closely," says his spokesman Ilse Van de Keere. "This mobilization is not organized, but there are chances to see yellow jackets land tomorrow in Brussels, actions are possible." As for knowing where they will be in the capital … nothing has filtered. But they may block certain axes. "We will not communicate on the measures taken by the police zone this Friday, but we will try to make them leave", She says. Can we advise motorists to favor public transport this Friday? "Yes, that's certain, it's better"she concludes.
