At least 100 people have been arrested in Brussels, where
hundreds more protested against TTIP, an impending free trade deal
between the US and the EU, as the next round of TTIP talks approaches.
Roads were paralyzed in
the Belgian capital as a force of more than 600 activists descended on
EU headquarters, blocking traffic and the venue of the EU leaders summit
in protest against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP).People carried signs and chanted slogans such as “Stop TTIP, stop austerity” and "Sorry for the inconvenience. We're trying to save the world," at the march in Brussels on Thursday. "TTIP is death" another sign read. One group of protesters displayed a balloon ‘Trojan Horse’ as an allegory for the deal.
