Supporters of the anti-austerity protesters argue that mass rallies are a legitimate, time-honored civic tradition, and they contend that heavy-handed police tactics against crowds erode the public trust and social order that institutions depend on.
Supporters of the anti-austerity protesters argue that preserving Belgium's inherited social protections and civic order matters more than budget cuts, and that peaceful mass assembly is itself a tradition of democratic continuity.
