北爱尔兰高等法院近日作出裁决,推翻游行委员会的拒绝,准许新教橙色勋章组织在9月27日通过波特当镇的加维格蒂路——一个主要天主教区进行游行1。这是该组织自1997年以来首次被允许通过这一敏感地区1。
游行规模受到严格限制,仅有35名橙色勋章成员参加,将进行静默游行,不携带乐队1。然而,约2000人在周日早上聚集进行反对游行1。加维格蒂路在1990年代后期德鲁姆克里纠纷中曾是冲突中心1,这一历史背景加深了此次事件的敏感性。
对于这一裁决,北爱首席部长米歇尔·奥尼尔表示:"我们的信息很明确。没有回头路。不是明天。永远不会。"1英国首相安迪·伯纳姆呼吁"各方保持冷静"1。这反映了长期困扰北爱尔兰的宗教政治分歧,而1998年《耶稣受难日协议》建立的游行委员会正是为了规范此类争议游行1。
A court has granted permission for the Orange Order, a Protestant pro-UK organization, to march through Garvaghy Road, a predominantly Catholic area in Portadown, Northern Ireland, on September 27—the first such approval since 1997 1. The march will proceed with only 35 Orange Order members participating in silent procession, with no band or other supporters accompanying them 1.
The court's decision overturned a previous rejection by the Parades Commission on procedural grounds 1. The authorization comes despite significant local opposition, with approximately 2,000 people gathering on Sunday morning to protest the march 1. Garvaghy Road was a flashpoint during the Drumcree dispute of the 1990s, a period marked by intense sectarian tensions in the region 1.
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill responded firmly to the decision, stating: "Our message is crystal clear. There is no going back. Not tomorrow. Never" 1. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham called on all parties to "remain calm" amid the contentious authorization 1. The Parades Commission, established under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement to regulate contentious marches, had previously prevented such processions through the area 1.
