In Dublin, a significant protest movement has emerged, with demonstrators demanding stricter immigration controls and the mass deportation of what they term 'fake asylum seekers'. The protests, characterized by slogans like 'Defund The NGO Maggots', 'Ireland is Full', and 'Mass Deportations Now', reflect a growing sentiment against current immigration policies. Participants, described as mostly middle and working class, expressed feelings of being marginalized in their own country. This movement has seen the involvement of new right-wing populist parties, which are attempting to leverage this sentiment into political success. Notably, Sinn Féin, known for its pro-migration stance, was absent from these demonstrations.
I love seeing the Irish stand up for their country. https://t.co/3AQZGJsJpu
