Military trucks parked in front of the headquarters of the European Council, replacing former cab station. Europe today is this picture. After Charlie Hebdo shooting and the following after coordinated police raids across Belgium netted more than a dozen suspects, the EU is on alert, and new security measures were taken. Soldiers were put to guard the street and to control the entrances to the subway, which are in correspondence of the EU Council and EU Commission main door. For security reason the cab station was removed and displaced, and now just pedestrians can enter the "military zone". There are not terrorists in Brussels, just terror. Fear is visible, despite it was explained the European institutions had increased their alert level as a precaution, though they were not aware of any specific threat against them. Meanwhile, the European Parliament increased the access controls. All the people will have to show identity documents in addition to the badge in order to get in. The press entrance will remain closed indefinitely, and the internal parking will be inaccessible from 10pm. Europe today is that.
