What is a protest?
A protest is a public expression of objection, disapproval, or dissent towards an idea or action, often political. Protesters use various methods, like the blockade at Dover, to draw attention to their cause and pressure authorities to respond. It's a fundamental aspect of democratic societies, allowing citizens to voice their concerns.
