Thousands of people protested against the government's migration policy in Ireland
Thousands of people protested in Dublin against the Irish government's migration policy. This was reported on April 27 by the Irish Independent newspaper.
"Thousands of people took part in an anti-immigration protest on Saturday (April 26. — Ed.) in the afternoon, which was met by a retaliatory demonstration organized by the United Against Racism group outside the Prosecutor General's Office," the article says.
According to the newspaper, the protesters marched down O'Connell Street, which disrupted traffic. It is noted that a large number of protesters carried tricolor flags, some wore green baseball caps with the inscription "Make Ireland great again." Some of the participants also held a banner with the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin, his US counterpart Donald Trump, as well as Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor.
It is specified that during the action three people were arrested for violating public order. According to the local police, there were no serious incidents. Irish Prime Minister Meehan Martin, in turn, said that he "does not accept negativity from those who spoke" at the protest in Dublin.
On April 19, The New York Times reported that thousands of U.S. residents had come out to protest Trump's policies. The protesters believe that the US president is "trampling on civil liberties and the rule of law," pursuing an overly harsh immigration policy, and cutting federal jobs. In their opinion, Trump's actions are harming the American economy.
