We received reports by phone from Brussels in the afternoon, there was a lot of shouting and music in the background.

"About 300 people were dancing in the sunshine and playing music to the sounds of a Samba band and some trumpets, as well as a solar powered sound system."

"Police has been blocking everything and everyone on every possible side, there were 300 or 400 of them. People are now turning back, and moving back towards the police lines again. There were no arrests, only bit of provocation, not much."

"There has been teargas, two seconds ago, I don't know how they are able to continue playing music."

"They just opened a new squat. Now people are hanging banners out of the windows."

... a while later:

"Police closed everyone in. There is nobody left on the pavement. People can go inside and outside the squat, which is at one of the major roads in Brussels. This road is now blocked by the police, they still have their water canons. The clowns army is out as well. Belgium police is a bit confused by them. The first floor of the squat still smells of teargas."
