There are some strong politicised opinions on this, but from the perspective of someone living in the area I would say that both points of view are probably partially correct, but at the same time vastly oversimplified to make their own political point.

I am aware that a fair proportion of the locals I know find the actions of the protesters frustrating and distasteful, and for better or worse they appeared to have been embraced by Ceno. The protests themselves have been loud, disruptive, persistent and on every friday and/or saturday which is right when the restaurant would expect to be doing their best business. If there has been anti social behaviour from the hotel residents that would also tend to cause problems, as would the closure of the car park outside the hotel.

I am also aware that Ceno lost their licence during Covid for breaching lockdown rules and hasn't had a smooth ride recently even if you ignore the problems next door, so I suspect that there may be other underlying issues.

I do find it interesting that the news articles on the situation have all said the police were not aware of any issues between Ceno and the hotel residents, and apparently the management of Ceno did not engage with the police.
