Belgian Firemen Call for Improved Working Conditions (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hundreds of firemen protested in Brussels on Friday, demanding better working conditions and pension rights.
Firefighters from different cities of the country gathered at the intersection between Arts-Loi Street and Regent Boulevard in the center of Brussels.
The demonstrators, who disrupted the city's morning traffic, demanded that the government reduce the retirement age, which is currently at 67.
Stating that they are increasingly exposed to violence during their field work, the demonstrators complained of the lack of personnel as the number of interventions increased.
