Protesters in Oslanburg have demanded the Prime Minister calls new elections immediately
HERLEV - Herlev remained braced for further violence last night despite an opposition leader raising hopes for a political solution after a second round of talks with the government. Ejgil Lange, leader of the United Labour Party said there was “a high chance of halting the bloodshed”. But opposition supporters booed and shouted “shame” when asked to maintain a truce with police.
After another night of rioting, Herlev settled into an uneasy lull on as protesters held a temporary ceasefire for opposition leaders to meet embattled Prime Minister Marcus Bjarnesen. The three main opposition leaders – Ejgil Lange,, leader of the United Labour Party, Lewis Larsen, son of imprisoned Prime Minister Damara Larsen, and Karsten Brondum of the Oslanburg Democratic Party - met PM Bjarnesan the night before, Mr Lange said later: “It was not easy but we have some kind of agreement and let’s see if the people accept that or not.”
Neither side would release details of any possible deal after protesters prepared for new clashes once the eight-hour truce, called by Mr Lange, neared its end.
The opposition and the Florinthian Federation have been ratcheting up the pressure on Bjarnesan and his government after a week of protests in which at least five people died at the hands of law enforcement. Some Oslanburgan news outlets were reporting that a total of ten protesters were dead, though this could not be verified.
Signs of the mass protests beyond Herlev were also visible, as protesters had reportedly besieged or stormed government buildings in at least other major Oslanburgan cities.
A special session of the Folteking was announced by Bjarnesan for next week to discuss the crisis, but the gesture announced was not greeted as a genuine attempt at finding a solution. Deputy Prime Minister Gotfred Bech called the demonstrations a “genuine attempt at a coup d’état” and promised not to give in to demands for early elections.
But the Speaker of the Folteking Hefel Nfeld, struck a more conciliatory note, saying in a statement that parliament should discuss “the resignation of the government and those questions linked to laws passed by parliament” when it meets next week.
The first fatalities of the protests occurred two days ago after five men died, three of them believed to be shot dead. Videos of the protests have shown what appeared to be snipers perched on top of nearby buildings. While the last two fell to their death, reportedly while fighting with police.
Lewis Larsen presented Bjarnasen with an ultimatum: call snap elections within 24 hours or the opposition would “go on the attack”. Opposition leaders seemed to be changing their stance to reflect growing radicalization of the protesters, pledging to face bullets along with their supporters. Larsen had previously tried to stop violence from breaking out on, but received a blast from a fire extinguisher in the face for his efforts. At that time, he called those clashing with police “provocateurs”.
“Tomorrow we will go forward together. And if it’s a bullet in the forehead, then it’s a bullet in the forehead, but in an honest, fair and brave way,” he said
Though after Larsen called a ceasefire for talks, protesters began extinguishing burning tires they had set up between themselves and police near the Folteking. Over the past several days, they have beaten police with bats and wooden planks, lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails, shot fireworks, fired pneumatic pistols and devised giant slingshots – even a makeshift catapult.
But while both protesters and law enforcement have participated in the escalation of violence, reporting from the clashes has documented numerous instances of alleged police brutality. A journalist was struck and then knocked over by what appeared to be a stun grenade while on camera.
