Washington, DC, has extended the public emergency until the end of President Donald Trump’s term. The mayor of the US capital Muriel Bowser announced that the state of emergency declared on Wednesday by the storm on the Capitol will be extended for 15 days. As a result, the state of emergency will end on January 21, the day after President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
After an inciting speech from Trump, his supporters marched outside the Capitol to protest the certification of the presidential election results. The rioters stormed the congress building. The two houses of congress had to suspend their sessions and they did not resume until hours later. According to the police, four people died in the riot. Several Democratic MPs blame Trump for the unrest. There are also criticisms from the Republicans. (You can read about all the news on our news blog)
People stormed the Capitol to disrupt the congressional process to confirm Joe Biden, Bowser wrote in his order. The protesters’ motivation to continue is unshakable. Trump continued to fuel the ire of the protesters by reiterating his false claims that the US presidential election was invalid.
“People are dissatisfied with the decisions of the courts and the results of the state electoral authorities, and it is to be expected that some people will continue their violent protests until the inauguration.”
