Ulster loyalists on the march - Portadown , Northern Ireland.

Hundreds of unionist protesters were seen marching and attending a rally in Portadown on Saturday against the Northern Ireland Protocol. "Today is just the beginning and further events are planned. When you go home, reflect on what you've heard today and be prepared, at short notice, to be called on to resist the protocol”, a spokesperson of the Mid-Ulster coalition rally warned. Most unionists share the view that the North Ireland Protocol should be rejected as it is seen as a form of border that separates Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK territories. The future of the proposed Northern Ireland Protocol is currently being negotiated amid ongoing criticism.
