There's a European top going on in Leuven where all European eduction ministers gather to discuss the future of European eduction after the Bologna -treaty. Riots were expected so Leuven's center has been virtually completely closed down, much to the dismay of local shopowners and students. The complaint is that it has become an occupied city.


VTM: "Riots in downtown Leuven" => mention that water canon had to be used etc. Not much info on the top.
VRT: "Higher eduction must be payable" => 3rd paragraph mentions small riots at the end of the demonstration.
De Morgen: "Students demonstrate against eduction summit in Leuven" => mentions there were "incidents".
De Standaard: "Students demonstrate in Brussels and Leuven" => "At the end of the demonstration there were "some incidents".


I find it so interesting that in each interview with VTM journalists they claim not to be more sensational than the other news sources. Yeah right.
From home at 1 km of the "riot area" I've only noticed a police helicopter in the air all day.
