VOICED : La violencia prosigue en Irlanda del Norte pese a llamados a la calma

The video discusses the recent violent unrest in Northern Ireland, which began on March 30 when young individuals attacked a police car with Molotov cocktails in Londonberry. The violence has escalated, particularly in unionist areas, due to Brexit-related tensions. Police have faced significant challenges, including attacks with Molotov cocktails and stones, leading to the use of water cannons for crowd control. Over 70 officers have been injured, despite calls for peace from London, Dublin, and Washington.
