[Belgium] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 16 April 2025, at the call of unions, including ACLVB and CNE, employees of Actiris-run childcare centers, including child carers, cooks, and other staff, gathered outside their headquarters in Brussels - Saint-Josse-Ten-Noode (Brussels) to protest the uncertain future of childcare for job seekers, as well as the lack of a clear budget for 2025, resulting from a political deadlock in Brussels. The unions involved expressed fears that, without additional funds, at least one daycare could close, negatively affecting vulnerable families, particularly single parents.
