Approximately 2,000 people gathered in Portadown, Northern Ireland, to protest an Orange Order march that was permitted for the first time in 28 years through a Catholic neighborhood. The demonstration delayed the procession, which had been ordered by a judge to proceed silently without music or banners. Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill attended the counter-protest, while DUP leader Gavin Robinson urged respect for legal decisions. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham called for calm, expressing concern over potential tensions reminiscent of the Troubles.
