"Actievoeren" can be protesting against something, and hence can be a translation for "to protest". In general, "actievoeren" and "protesteren" are often used synonymously.

No, it's not; actievoeren = to agitate or to demonstrate for/against, protesteren = to protest (always against). In the DL sentence we don't know if the people are republicans or royalists.

Not quite indeed, although I am sure they meant it that way. I think the sentence-to-be-translated should be rewritten to "De mensen protesteren tijdens de kroning van de koningin" or something even better. Have you reported it yet?

Ik had de zin niet gemeld, omdat ik niet wist, of de zins bedenkelijk was. Dat zal ik nu doen. Dank voor het advies!

I translated "actievoeren" as "rallying". This should have been accepted!
