Calling on Prime Minister Charles Michel to resign, the group also chanted slogans against the government and migration.

As the police tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas and water cannon vehicles, the protesters tried to enter the EU Commission building.

At least 90 protesters were arrested during the protests in front of the building, according to police sources.
