Why It Matters
Dover is a key port for ferry services between the UK and France. The protests are caused by dissatisfaction with illegal migration.
Hundreds of demonstrators protesting against illegal migration blocked streets in Dover in southern Britain, right-wing activist Tommy Robinson said on Saturday.
“Hundreds of British people, dressed in masks and black clothes, came out and blocked the streets of Dover in protest against the invasion of our country by illegal migrants who have no right to be here,” the activist said on his Telegram channel.
Judging by videos posted on social networks, activists blocked roads in the area of the port of Dover, through which there is a ferry connection with France.
The National Highway Authority reported that the protest caused kilometers-long traffic jams in the city.
Ferry company P&O Ferries said access to the port had been "partially restored" but delays continued with ferries.
Open Questions
- How long will the port block last?
- Will protest participants be detained?
