Belgian Firemen Protest Over Pension Reform

Description:Belgian firemen spray water and foam at a ministry building in Brussels - in protest over government plans to reform their pensions. The action's part of a national 24 hour strike by the country's public sector workers. Belgium's new government is trying to raise the proper retirement age - currently 65 but actually averaging 59 years - as part of a tough budget plan to reduce the public sector deficit to below the EU limit.
