Masked protesters blocked the British port of Dover, creating a tense situation at the main gateway to the United Kingdom. The blockade caused significant disruptions to passenger and freight traffic across the English Channel.
The authorities were unable to identify the concrete reason for the protest. What is known is that a group of masked people gathered at the port and prevented normal circulation.
Local politicians put forward explanations for the incident, pointing the finger at the far-right and the anti-immigration protests that have marked the public debate in the United Kingdom in recent times. However, these are only hypotheses put forward by political officials and not confirmed causes.
