Demonstrators Leave Street During Controversial Orange March in Northern Ireland
Hundreds of demonstrators blocking a street in Portadown, Northern Ireland, have vacated the area after opposing a controversial pro-British march by the Protestant Orange Order. This marked the first time in 28 years the group was permitted to march through the Catholic neighborhood around Garvaghy Road. While most protesters left, some residents vowed to remain on Garvaghy Road. The Orange Order withdrew from the immediate route but stated it would not leave Portadown until members could complete the march, with DUP leader Gavin Robinson indicating they were willing to wait for hours, days, or months. The incident highlights lingering tensions between Catholics and Protestants in the region, despite the Good Friday Agreement ending the Troubles in 1998.
