Description[?]:
| The Baltusian Observer: anti-Government protest takes place in the capital Today anti government protests took place in the capital, the protests were against the arrest and trial of Alexandra Jennings, the increasing of police powers And the reversing of nationalisation of Baltusia. The protests were peaceful but tensions grew in many parts of the capital but luckily no violence broke out, Across the Country a number of large strikes took place with estimates between 300000 and 500000 strikers mainly in companies which had been re-privatised. Our journalists interviewed a number of protesters to try and get their views a few people refused to talk to us but many agreed, one protester who wished to remain neutral told us that ever since the company that he had worked in had been nationalised they had been happier and better payed, another protester Mrs Lydia Greelin who counts herself as a liberal told us that as a floating voter she had recently voted republican but was disgusted by their recent attitudes to freedom and would now be voting for a left party, the mood here is grim as many protesters have lost their jobs and many others their wills, Professer Michael Browner of the institute of political studies in Llajta told us that the recent arrest of Alexandra Jennings has scared many in the country who now believe that free speech is threatened. Here are some surveys taken at the protests Anarchists 18% Communists 21% Socialists 22% Environmentalists 15% Liberals 14% Other 10% Age 0-18 15% 18-30 35% 30-50 22% 50-70 15% 70+ 13% Gender Male 47% Female 48% Other 5% Protesters protests against the recent privatisation bills that were passed http://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2016/01/10/635880254892802937-147520905_powerofprotest.jpg Protesters pass government buildings while protesting against the president http://a57.foxnews.com/media2.foxnews.com/BrightCove/694940094001/2016/11/15/876/493/694940094001_5211860460001_-Here-s-Something-New--Anti-Trump-protesters-didn-t-vote.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 Students protesting against the government http://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/msnbc/components/video/201611/161112-trump-protest-mn-1045.nbcnews-ux-1080-600.jpg |
