While the revelers live in Westminster Abbey III. On the occasion of King Carole’s coronation, anti-monarchy demonstrators in Trafalgar Square, a popular London venue, broke with a thousand-year-old tradition and demanded the declaration of a republic.
Yellow shirts and shirts with signs written on them flooded the square demanding the abolition of the kingdom.
London police have arrested the leader of the anti-monarchy group called Republic, Graham Smith, and several others have been detained on suspicion of disorderly conduct, conspiracy to cause public danger and possession of criminal objects, The Guardian reports. BBC British Public Service Television. Police say there is a “major operation under way” in central London.
Police announced on Wednesday that they would set a “very low bar” against demonstrations during the coronation ceremony and that protesters expected “swift action” – stating that since many privileged and protected people would be coming to the event, authorities would have to keep crowd developments under control.
By the way, they can be helped by a new public order law, which, for example, prevents protesters from “gluing or attaching” themselves to objects in the street – a response to the previous actions of the radical climate group Just Stop Oil.
The liberal non-profit Human Rights Watch said the arrests at the coronation ceremony were “an event seen in Moscow, not in London”.
