The capital of the European Union has been engulfed in unrest over the threat of deindustrialization.
The protesters took to the streets and marched towards the European Parliament building.
It all started with the threat of closure hanging over the Audi plant in Brussels, writes Bloomberg .
Around 5,000 people have come out to protest in solidarity with the workers at the plant. Trade unions are calling for a large-scale strike.
They demand an end to Chinese dumping of industrial goods.
The situation with the Audi plant has become another "wake-up call" regarding concerns about the deindustrialization of Europe.
One of the reasons cited is the attempt by European politicians to achieve a transition to climate-friendly industry.
In addition, there is fierce competition from foreign manufacturers who offer Europeans cheaper products.
Activists are calling on the EU government to "wake up and do something".
In their opinion, the European Union has failed to overcome the industrial crisis.
