Policía abre investigación tras protestas violentas en Portsmouth

La policía abrió una investigación el 7 de septiembre después de que una protesta en el muelle Eastney de Portsmouth se volviera violenta, hiriendo a oficiales y dañando vehículos, según informó la autoridad. La investigación busca identificar a los participantes del altercado. La protesta se enmarca en una serie de manifestaciones antiinmigración el 5 de septiembre, cuando cientos de manifestantes en pasamontañas bloquearon el acceso al puerto de Dover, provocando un atasco de cuatro millas y la suspensión de los servicios de ferry a Francia.

La policía restableció el tráfico tras varias horas. Ese mismo día, un grupo vinculado a la plataforma Patriot organizó una manifestación similar en Portsmouth, que fue condenada por funcionarios gubernamentales, quienes advirtieron que se perseguirían las acciones ilegales.
