VIDEO: Hundreds of Tractors Gather in Brussels to 'Welcome' European Ministers

Hundreds of tractors from across Belgium have gathered in the capital to 'welcome' European agriculture ministers who have arrived in Brussels to participate in the summit. European farmers have broken through police barricades, driving their tractors against law enforcement and heading towards the square where the European Union and European Council headquarters are located.

There, workers have attempted to unload manure onto the traffic lanes of the central street and have encountered watering vehicles. Protests are taking place in many European countries, drawing attention to the complicated situation in the agricultural sector and voicing opposition to European agricultural policy.
