The festive bridge of this weekend, which lasts until Monday and is the last great escape of the summer of many British, has helped reduce in intensity what could have been another wave of violence and street protest in the United Kingdom,
Throughout Friday and Saturday, demonstrations and counter-manifestations had been convened throughout the country against at least thirty of the more than two hundred hotels and hostels that welcome asylum seekers who have arrived in the United Kingdom who lived at The Bell hotel, in the town of Epping, has given wings to the extreme right, which will try during the next few days to achieve similar judicial decisions throughout the country.
the populist and incendiary politician who made his career on the back of Brexit, has encouraged citizens to demonstrate in front of the hotels that host immigrants, and promises, if he ever comes to power – as the surveys already suggest – mass deportations of all irregular and asylum seekers who are already on British soil.
“This whole situation is creating a threat to our national security, which leads to the rage of citizen The Timesin an analysis that had some more incitement to violence than of realistic explanation of the tension that is lived in the streets.
Despite the slogan repeated by Farage, who insists on saying that protesters are worried and non -ultra -right -wing neighbors, extreme right -right activist groups such as Homelands have begun to convene diverse demonstrations for the weekend through social networks.
In Liverpool, half a hundred protesters contrary to immigration, with the United Kingdom flags (Union Jack) and also from England (the Red Cross of San Jorge on white background) have been in front of them at least three hundred antifascists. Dozens of police officers have placed themselves between the two groups to avoid altercations.
In Chesnut, about 250 people managed to block the road and threw torches near a hotel that hosts immigrants, including families with minors.
In Chichester, Portsmouth, Altrincham or Leeds, similar protests occurred, with a number of people never higher than hundred.
The protesters no longer make a distinction of the type of immigrants against which they express their repudiation: regular, irregular, refugee or protected. In Cardiff, there were protests in front of a hotel near the airport that houses Afghans who helped the British army in their fight in that country against Taliban, and today reside in the United Kingdom.
In Bristol, the number of anti -fascist groups and protesters has surpassed that of anti -immigrants, and their slogans – “refugees are welcome here” – have far exceeded the shouts of the former. However, the violence of the protesters has led to some altercations, with punching, between the congregates and the police officers, many of them mounted on horseback to oppose more resistance to a possible advance. The forces of the order have focused, above all, on protecting the counter -family members, shouting slogans as “Nazi garbage outside our streets.”
A similar reaction has occurred in Perth, where the Stand Up to Racism Group (get up against racism) has surpassed the number of ultra -right -wing protesters. In Oxford, just one hundred people, of the two groups, have faced each other in one of the hotels used by the government.
Throughout the United Kingdom there are more than 32,000 asylum applicants distributed in more than 210 hotels, with a daily cost for the public treasury of almost six million euros per day.
The Starmer government has pledged to end a irregular immigrants housing system that is a continuous source of tension, but it is difficult to empty hotels if there is not previously an alternative of accommodation. The Ministry of Interior would fall into irrigation to violate humanitarian legislation that prohibits people’s eviction.
Downing Street has made the decision to resort to Judge Eyre’s precautionary order, to avoid a waterfall of similar demands throughout the country. Not only district tips governed by the right have announced their intention to follow the steps of EPPING Forest (the district that has achieved judicial victory). Some governed by Labor have expressed their intention to do the same, for Starmer’s embarrassment and their ministers.
The repeated idea throughout the week by members of the Government is that hotels and their use for immigrants, a policy inherited from previous conservative executives, will end as soon as possible, but at the same time claim the possibility of doing so in an orderly manner, and want to avoid at all costs a waterfall of eviction orders that would cause chaos.
