Summary

Hundreds of students in Liege, Belgium, protested against rising education costs, overcrowded classrooms, and difficulties accessing study materials on October 7, 2026. The protests were inspired by similar demonstrations in France. According to reports, the unrest resulted in 107 arrests, with some protests turning violent and involving property damage and arson. The main train station was temporarily closed. Local authorities, including Liege mayor Willy Demeyer, expressed hope for peaceful dialogue to address the students' grievances regarding education reforms and tuition increases that had previously sparked clashes in Brussels.
