- Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary got a rude welcome in Brussels when he received two cream pies to the face while standing next to a cardboard cutout of the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen.
- The pies were landed by two female environmental activists as O’Leary was holding a one-man protest outside the European Commission against repeated air traffic controllers’ strikes in the EU affecting his low-cost Irish airline, Europe’s biggest by passenger numbers.
- “Welcome [to] Belgium,” said one of the activists as she planted a pie in his face, according to video of the scene broadcast by the Belgian news channels LN24 and RTL Info.
