BRUSSELS—Belgian police were filtering traffic around the Brussels capital region during Monday’s morning rush hour in an attempt to keep a vehicle protest against coronavirus restrictions in check.
Police narrowed some highways and imposed go-slow traffic to keep control of what it feared could otherwise turn into a choking demonstration like those by horn-honking truckers in Canada. Early indications didn’t show a groundswell of support for the action but police took extensive precautions in and around European Union headquarters in central Brussels.
