“They have tried to force the entrance, which was prevented by the police,” Ilse Van de keere, spokesperson of the Brussels police, said in a statement.
Tom Van Grieken, Vlaams Belang’s leader, shared footage of protesters throwing garbage bags and road signs at the office’s entrance on his X account.
“They destroyed the entrance, they destroyed the [security] cameras, to make matters worse, they also tried to set fire to a building where people live,” he told POLITICO on the phone.
He said those responsible were left-wingers.
“We seriously have the impression that the left are the real anti-democrats. When they can’t bring down nationalistic or patriotic parties at the voting booth, then it needs to happen in other ways,” he said.
“Then it must happen through intimidation, violence and prosecution.”
