Around 5,500 people have gathered outside the Commission to voice their discontent regarding the UN Migration Pact signed in Marrakech last week by many world leaders, according to the police. The demonstrators, who were urged to gather by Flemish far-right associations, arrived outside the Commission at 12pm GMT (1pm CET), chanting a series of slogans including “our people first” and “Brussels rats”. Their gathering turned violent quickly, with many demonstrators “smashing every window” of the Commission’s building, according to freelance journalist Sotiri Dimpinoudis.

He wrote on Twitter: “Protestors are smashing every window of the European Commission building they can see in their path!

“To protest against the #UN Migration Pact of #Marrakech in #Belgium!”

The journalist also said police made 15 arrests and used tear gas and “big vehicles” in a bid to placate the riots and push back the demonstrators.

He wrote: “Police are now using the big vehicles in order to drive out the protestors of the European Commission building in the European district “#Schumanplein” in #Brussels!”

The riots are taking place between the districts of Schuman and Cinquantenaire.

The protesters demanded their leaders to trash the UN pact and defend the continent from an “invasion”.

A French-speaking demonstrator said: “I am against the pact of Marrakech, it is a deception.

“We are already invaded, we want to keep our continent prosperous for our children and our grandchildren.
