It was attended by about 30 thousand people. As reported by the city police, the protesters staged a procession with the flags of the European Union.

People who went out on the street demanded, in particular, that British Prime Minister Teresa May seek a closer relationship with the European Union. According to the police, the action was peaceful and without detentions.

The demonstration was timed to coincide with the congress of the ruling Conservative Party, which began in Manchester on October 1. It will take another three days, the congress participants will also discuss Brexit.

Recall, September 9, tens of thousands of people marched to the Parliament Square in central London in protest against the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

As reported URA-Inform, the European Union and Britain have not made sufficient progress in the issue of the country's withdrawal from the EU, so that the negotiations on Brexit moved to the next stage. This was after the meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May was announced by the President of the European Council Donald Tusk.
