Title: Demonstration in London in favor of the return of the United Kingdom to the European Union
Introduction :
Last Saturday, several thousand British people gathered in the streets of London to take part in the “National Rejoin March”, a demonstration in favor of the United Kingdom’s return to the European Union. This mobilization reflects the discontent of a part of the British population who consider Brexit to be a failure.
A gathering full of hope:
Protesters converged on Parliament Square, waving European flags and placards demanding Britain’s return to the EU. On site, a giant screen displayed the slogan “we want our star back”, symbolizing the desire to reintegrate the European community. The atmosphere was electric, with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy played on bagpipes echoing through the streets. Participants were determined to express their opposition to Brexit and the policies pursued by the ruling Conservatives.
The motivations of the demonstrators:
Among the participants, some expressed their anger at the media which they consider to be controlled by the same interests which supported Brexit. They denounce the propaganda and believe that these media have sold a biased version of reality, thus creating “indignation pornography”. Other protesters are former Brexit supporters who regret their choice and feel cheated. They now recognize the negative consequences of this decision and believe they were taken for “imbeciles”.
Hope for change:
Despite the absence of a major political party advocating Britain’s return to the EU, protesters remain hopeful. They hope that public pressure will eventually shake up politicians and encourage them to reconsider the possibility of returning to the European Union.
Conclusion :
The demonstration in London in favor of the United Kingdom’s return to the European Union demonstrates the dissatisfaction of part of the British population with Brexit. The demonstrators express their desire to rejoin the EU and criticize the decision to leave the common market and its consequences on the economy and free movement. Their mobilization demonstrates that many British people are questioning the country’s political choices and harbor the hope of a turnaround in the situation in the years to come.
