Protesters have set fire to cars and houses, generating chaos and fear in the region, already marked by decades of political and religious conflicts.
North Ireland remains under enormous tension. On Tuesday night, 11 people were arrested and at least 14 police were injured in clashes with anti-immigration protesters.
The riots started just over a week ago, after a teenager complained about sexual abuse against two 14 -year -old Romanians.
Protesters challenge the authorities, set out cars and houses, and sow fear and chaos. The riots began on June 9 in Ballymena, but have already spread to several cities in Ireland. They arose following the adolescent’s complaint against the two smaller ones.
The identity of young people is not known, but the British press has advanced that they heard the accusation in Romanian. The case is still being investigated, but is already feeding acts of vandalism.
The wave of violence has been marked by demonstrations against racism, xenophobia and discrimination.
The clashes threaten to undermine the fragile stability of a region that remains deeply marked by trauma and decades of political and religious divisions.
