So in other words you really don't care.
Pedestrians always have right of way regardless of why they're on the street, to start...
And the right to protest does protect their right to inconvenience you when on the road. Don't like it, just turn around or go park your car and walk.
They have the right to use the road. They do not have the right to deny use of the road.
They do when they're protesting, or even for festivals, events, trying to cross and getting stuck. That's a fact of life you just have to put up with.
No, that's not a fact of life.
It might be a fact of law, but if they have figured out some loophole that allows them to get away with it, the law can and should be changed to eliminate that loophole. And that's the only real effect they will have: convincing the general public to adopt some authoritarian bullshit law that should not need to exist, because nobody should be enough of a cunt to deliberately impede movement.
