Source text - Spanish La policía del Ulster promete importantes detenciones tras la tercera noche de disturbios
Los incidentes, causados por jóvenes disidentes republicanos, incluidos niños de 10 años, han causado 82 heridos desde el domingo.
La policía de Belfast ha dicho que se producirán "numerosas detenciones" tras la tercera jornada consecutiva de disturbios. Las fuerzas del orden recibieron anoche seis disparos y fueron objeto del lanzamiento de artefactos incendiarios. Los incidentes violentos, protagonizados por jóvenes nacionalistas, se concentraron en Ardoyne, un suburbio al norte de la capital norirlandesa donde la noche anterior los agentes sufrieron ataques constantes. Un centenar de policías antidisturbios respondieron con cañones de agua.
Los alborotadores colocaron barricadas y dañaron un autobús a pedradas. Aunque anoche no se produjo ningún herido, 82 agentes sufrieron lesiones entre el domingo y el lunes. Según fuentes policiales, niños de unos 10 años han participado en los episodios violentos lanzando piedras o bombas incendiarias, pero también, siendo utilizados como escudos humanos por los alborotadores.
En los próximos días van a sucederse numerosas detenciones, según ha informado el Servicio de Policía del Norte de Irlanda (PSNI, en sus siglas en inglés). Ya han identificado -analizando grabaciones de los sucesos en vídeo- a la persona que lanzó un bloque de hormigón a una agente que resultó gravemente herida. "Donde quiera que esté en el Norte de Irlanda puede sentarse y preocuparse, porque vamos a por él", ha amenazado un alto cargo de la policía, Duncan McCausland.
El primer ministro británico, David Cameron, ha descrito los incidentes como "inaceptables" y ha dicho que la policía se ha visto obligada a responder, según la BBC.
Temporada de marchas protestantes
Las tradicionales marchas protestantes de julio suelen provocar incidentes, de intensidad variable según los años. Los disturbios de estos días se inscriben en el empeño de los disidentes republicanos por boicotear el proceso de paz, en cumplimiento del cual Belfast asumió el control de la policía y la justicia transferido desde Londres en abril.
Tanto el ministro principal del Ulster, Peter Robinson, del Partido Democrático Unionista (DUP), como el viceministro principal, Martin McGuinness, del Sinn Fein, aseguraron ayer en un comunicado conjunto que no había justificación para la violencia desatada en los últimos días, que calificaron de "puro y simple vandalismo". Según el corresponsal de la BBC, Mark Simpson, la violencia ha unido a los políticos, pero "el problema es que los alborotadores no parecen estar escuchándoles".
Horas antes de que se emitiese el comunicado, el número dos de la policía norirlandesa, Alistair Finlay, pidió más liderazgo político. Su jefe, Matt Baggott, se reunirá hoy con Robinson y McGuinness con el objetivo de buscar formas de prevenir problemas similares en el futuro.
La concejal del Partido Socialdemócrata y Laborista (SDPL) Nicola Mallon coincide con la policía en que había niños de 10 años participando en los disturbios, y describió que la noche fue de "absoluta locura y caos". Mallon explicó a la BBC que los residentes locales ven la situación con creciente preocupación.

Translation - English Police in Ulster promise arrests after a third night of riots
The disturbances caused by dissident republicans, some as young as 10 years old, have resulted in the injury of 82 people since Sunday.
Police in Belfast have promised “significant arrests”, after the third consecutive night of unrest. Six shots were fired at officers who also came under attack from rioters throwing incendiary devices. The incidents were centred on the Ardoyne area in the north of the city where, last night, police came under sustained attack from young Nationalists. Around 100 officers in riot gear responded to the attacks with water cannons.
The troublemakers placed barricades in the street and threw stones at a bus. While no injuries were reported tonight, 82 police officers were treated for injuries sustained between Sunday and Monday. According to police sources, children as young as 10 participated in the violence, not only throwing stones or bombs, but they were also being used as shields by the other rioters.
In the coming days, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has confirmed that they intend to pursue the culprits and bring them before the courts. By analysing video footage, they have already identified the person who threw a concrete block which seriously injured a female officer. “Wherever they are in Northern Ireland they can sit and be worried for we will be coming for then,” added Duncan McCausland, Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) of the PSNI.
Reports from the BBC said that the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, described the violence as “unacceptable” and said that the police had been forced to respond.
The Protestant Marching Season
The traditional Protestant July marches have, over the last few years, usually caused incidents of varying seriousness. The disturbances of recent days are testament to the determination of dissident republicans to boycott the peace process, the latest achievement of which being the devolution of policing and justice powers from London to Belfast in April.
In a joint statement the First Minister, Peter Robinson (DUP), and the deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness (Sinn Féin), stipulated yesterday that there was no justification for the violence of recent days and added that it was "purely and simply vandalism". Mark Simpson, the BBC’s Ireland correspondent, added that the violence has united Northern Ireland's politicians, although the problem is that the rioters are not listening.
Hours before the statement, ACC McCausland called on politicians to provide more leadership.The Chief Constable of the PSNI, Matt Baggott, will today join Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness in order to look at the various options available to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Nicola Mallon, Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) councillor, shares the same view as the PSNI – that children of 10 years of age were present and fighting in the disturbances – adding that the night was one of absolute madness and chaos. In an interview with the BBC, Mallon said that local residents are becoming increasingly worried about the present situation.
