The demonstration was uneventful, according to the Brussels police.

The protesters gathered around 2 pm on the Place de la Liberté in the center of Brussels before heading for the US embassy.

Protesters with Venezuelan flags chanted slogans hostile to the Maduro regime as a « dictatorship » and also called for free elections in Venezuela.
