Another demonstration broke out in London. Many people opposed the arrest of the British Prime Minister
Last week (August 28), in order to ensure brexit on schedule, British Prime Minister Boris & middot; Johnson tried his best to ask for both a suspension of Parliament and an early election. However, prevented by parliament, Johnson has been "hammered" one after another in the past week.
In addition to the parliament where "people are rebellious against their relatives", Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament also aroused public anger, believing that his move was an "insult to British democracy".
According to the guardian on September 7, a large-scale "anti brexit" March broke out in London again that day to protest Johnson's decision to "undermine democracy" and ask him to resign. However, with the intervention of organizations supporting "brexit", the demonstration soon turned into a violent conflict.
In the face of demonstrations and violent conflicts, the London police were not soft hearted. They not only arranged a large number of police forces to maintain order, but also beat the attackers with batons. Finally, the police said that a total of 16 people were arrested, of which 13 were charged with 'violent riot'.
The Guardian reported that hundreds of "anti brexit" organizations and people marched on various landmark buildings in London on Saturday (7). Among them, Downing Street, where the prime minister's official residence is located, has become one of the main battlefields of protest. People gathered in Downing Street with slogans such as "welcome immigrants" and "oppose (Johnson) coup".
However, in the process of gathering, the organization supporting 'brexit' led by the 'Democratic Youth Football League' (dfla) launched an attack on the demonstrators. " The Democratic Youth Football League 'is an organization established in 2017. According to the times, the organization has extensive contacts with extreme right-wing sports. The Premier League warned the club that' the organization is using fans and sports venues to promote the anti Muslim agenda '.
According to "Russia today", the "Democratic Youth Football League" approached the parade crowd and shouted at them. Then, they threw a can at the crowd supporting "brexit", which officially opened the conflict between the two sides and attracted the intervention of the police.
The Huffington Post reported that in order to prevent the conflict between the two sides, the police deployed a large number of police forces at the scene to form a human wall to separate the two crowds. After the parade officially began, the police also sent a large number of personnel to surround the parade and confront the anti demonstrators from time to time.
According to the pictures taken at the scene of 'Russia today', outside the British Parliament Square, a group of protesters clashed with the police. The protesters removed the railings and threw them at the police. The police then fought back with batons. Outside the picture, another protester fell to the ground.
In another clip, the British police confronted the protesters on the road. The police held batons and took defensive posture to face the protesters. Subsequently, the picture turned to the distance, and more police rushed to the scene for support.
The Guardian reported that the police arrested at least 16 people during the rally and conflict in London on the 7th. In addition to London, demonstrations against Johnson also broke out in Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle on the 7th.
Anna middot, a British MP who organized the "anti brexit" March; In an interview with the guardian, Su Bree said that she was "frightened" by the violence at the parade: "I am a congressman, I am qualified to speak, and I should not be afraid, but (the scene) is very, very, very scary, and I am really afraid."
In the face of such a situation, shadow cabinet minister Diana & middot; Albert believes that all the responsibility should be borne by Johnson: 'Johnson has had a bad week and the situation is getting worse and worse.'
It is worth mentioning that this is the second large-scale demonstration in Britain recently. Local time on August 31st, London, Bermingham, Manchester, Glasgow, York and other more than 30 cities at the same time broke out large-scale protests against Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament.
In the past week, Johnson encountered a 'five Hammer'. On the 3rd, Johnson lost the first battle of Parliament. 21 conservative members' defected '. The house of Commons won control of the agenda of the house of Commons by 328 votes to 301, and took the first step to prevent' no agreement brexit '. The British government said after the vote that these 'rebels' would be expelled from the Conservative Party in Parliament.
On the 4th, a bill to prevent 'brexit without agreement' was passed in the house of Commons by 327 votes to 299. On the same day, Johnson's motion to hold an early general election also failed - Johnson's motion for "early general election" required two-thirds of the members to vote in favour, but only 298 people voted in favour and 56 against - 136 votes less than the number he needed.
The situation turned sharply. Johnson's brother, Joe Johnson, Secretary of state of the British Department of Commerce, energy and industrial strategy, announced his resignation at 6 p.m. on the 5th. On the 6th, the bill to prevent 'non agreement brexit' has been passed in the upper house without any amendment, which means that the bill does not have to return to the lower house. The bill will enter into force on the 9th and will be approved by the queen at that time.
On the 7th, British opposition parties jointly expressed their opposition to Johnson's request for early general election. An early election requires two-thirds of the votes in parliament, which means Johnson cannot start an early election. On the same day, the British Minister of employment and pensions, Amber & middot; Rudd resigned again.
Reuters said Rudd's resignation put an end to Johnson's turbulent week.
