National strike hits Belgian public transport, airports and ships

A nationwide strike in Belgium has caused disruptions across the country's public transportation, airports, and ports. The strike was organized by labor unions to protest the government's proposed reforms and spending cuts. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the streets of Brussels, the capital city, to voice their opposition to the government's policies. The strike has led to the cancellation of numerous flights at the country's main airports, as well as the suspension of train and bus services across the country. Seaports and the country's national postal service have also been affected by the strike, with some workers joining the protest. The government has urged citizens to work from home or find alternative means of transportation during the strike. The protest highlights the ongoing tensions between the government and labor unions over the country's economic policies. The strike is expected to continue throughout the day, causing significant disruptions to the country's infrastructure and daily operations.
