Police Pelted with Eggs as Farmers Protest in Brussels

 

There have been angry scenes in Brussels as EU farmers protested over falling milk and meat prices.

Eggs and firecrackers were thrown at police, as burning straw bales filled the air with smoke.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the European Commission building in the city, as agriculture ministers met to discuss the price problems.

“Eighty-six percent of Danish milk farmers are nearly broke. So we hope we get help here today,” said one farmer from Denmark.

Ingrid Janssen, a pig association chair, was also at the demonstration.
