Protesters in Brussels march against right-wing ideology
It’s the second major march in the Belgian capital denouncing the far-right since the EU elections on June 9th which saw right, far-right and populist parties winning big at the polls.
More than 4,000 people have marched through Brussels in protest against the political right and racism.
Organised by the Anti-fascist Coordination of Belgium (CAB) the march brought together around 20 social movements and organisations.
It’s the second major march in the Belgian capital denouncing the far-right since the EU elections on June 9th which saw right and far-right parties winning big.
“This march is important today to show a message of hope in the face of the messages of despair that the far right wants to bring us,” said CAB member Sixtine Van Outryve.
“It’s important to show that we’re in solidarity with everyone, whatever their nationality, whatever they earn, whatever they do. We stand together and we want a society that doesn’t divide us. A society that doesn’t exclude, a society that isn’t racist or sexist.”
“Many of us were shocked by the election results, showing far-right breakthroughs at the European level,” Van Outryve said, expressing concern about what she called an “alarming” trend towards the normalisation of far-right discourse.
Right and far-right parties scored big in the EU elections with the most dramatic result coming in France. Marine le Pen’s National Rally took first place in the polls with more than 31% of the vote, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and call snap elections.
In Italy, Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing Brothers of Italy bagged the most votes (28.7%) while in Germany, the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) surged to second place, knocking Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats into third.
There were also victories for right-leaning and populist parties in Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Demonstrators in Brussels were keen to show that the rise of the far-right wasn’t “inevitable” and that it was important to confront it by building social and democratic alternatives.
“We’re going to show them that young people aren’t entirely seduced by far right and that the majority of us continue to fight against their ideas,” said a 17-year-old protester called Henri.

Spearfisherman killed by suspected 15-foot shark after third fatal attack in less than a month
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A fisherman was killed late Saturday morning after an attack by a suspected nearly 15-foot shark off the coast of Western Australia.
The unidentified 35-year-old was spearfishing near Michaelmas Island, a protected sand cay on the Great Barrier Reef not far from the city of Albany.
The island is around 240 miles south of Perth, the state’s capital.
His was the third fatal shark attack in the country in less than a month.

The man was brought by boat to shore, but paramedics weren’t able to revive him.
On May 24, 39-year-old Michael Jensz was killed after suffering head injuries while spearfishing along the Great Barrier Reef off the country’s northeast coast.
A bull shark is suspected in his death.
On May 16, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni was killed by a white shark at Rottnest Island, a popular resort in Western Australia. He was also spearfishing.
In January, a 12-year-old also died a week after he was attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbor.
A bull shark is suspected in a man’s death in Western Australia.
Australia usually averages around three shark deaths per year.
“We do see an increase in larger sharks this time of the year, particularly chasing the sardine and the salmon along the coast, which is quite normal,” commercial fisherman Gregory Sharp told the Australian Broadcasting Company Saturday.
He added that sharks also tend to attack in areas “where there’s a lot of seals, and the island area in King George Sound is renowned for seals.”

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said in a Facebook post Saturday that he was deeply saddened to hear of this morning’s fatal shark attack in Albany.
This is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends, as well as the first responders.”

On June 6, 1944, during World War II, nearly 160,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy, France, on what is known as ‘D-Day’, and they launched ‘Operation Overlord’ to liberate German-occupied Western Europe.

Over 4,400 Allied troops were killed on that single day, and more than half of them were Americans. The exact number of German casualties on D-Day is not known, but it is estimated between 4,000 and 9,000 killed, wounded or missing.
This year commemorates the 82nd anniversary of the Normandy beach landings, with only a handful of war veterans still alive to tell the story. And six of those last veterans have made the journey to France to commemorate the landings at the British Normandy Memorial.
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and the Pentagon’s second-in-command, Elbridge Colby, take part in the international ceremony at Langrune-sur-Mer on Saturday to honour those veterans.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was also present at the ceremony and laid tributes at the American memorial honouring war veterans who took part in the invasion that helped change the course of the war.
Hegseth was joined at the ceremony by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, as well as other military personnel.
Referring to the servicemen who sacrificed their lives, Hegseth stated they “carried the hopes and prayers of a free world.”
“They crossed an ocean to fight for their country on a continent that they’d never seen, to save a people they did not know..()..Alongside the brave forces of Great Britain, Canada, France, Norway, Poland, and our other capable and steadfast allies, the United States military spearheaded a great crusade to shatter the Nazi war machine and liberate the continent,” Hegseth said.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey also paid his respects as he laid a wreath at the foot of the British Normandy Memorial, which lists 22,540 British names on its Roll of Honour.
As the largest seaborne military operation in history, D-Day launched with tens of thousands of troops landing simultaneously across 5 separate beaches in Normandy.
Following more than a year of intense strategic planning, the invasion was delayed by 24 hours due to severe storms, missing its original 5 June target date, which commanders chose to capitalise on rare optimal weather, low tides, and a full moon.
In military terminology, the “D” simply stands for “day”, marking the designated start date of a major operation.
