JOHNSON. Weakened by numerous scandals, Boris Johnson is facing a major wave of resignations within his government. Will he quit his job?
The saying goes that love lasts three years. Will Boris Johnson also part with his costume as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom three years after being appointed to this post? In any case, this is what many members of the British government are working towards, demanding the resignation of their leader, mired in numerous scandals. As of Thursday July 7, 2022, nearly fifty people working in strategic positions of power would have left their functions, claiming the head of the boss of the Conservative Party. A major political crisis within the monarchy which the 58-year-old politician seems to want to face by refusing to leave 10 Downing Street, the British Matignon. Is his resignation nevertheless inexorable?
“I’m staying,” says Johnson
A Minister of Health who slams the door, followed by the one in charge of Finance and dozens of other members of the government, including the Secretary of State for the Treasury, the ministers in charge of Wales and Northern Ireland, or even several collaborators of the ministerial cabinets… These resignations are a task for Boris Johnson but all have one thing in common: the weariness of the resigners of the various affairs concerning their Prime Minister, between the parties organized during confinement and many lies.
Despite the distrust clearly displayed against him, Boris Johnson does not intend to lay down his arms and leave the government. “I remain in office to carry out the colossal mandate entrusted by the voters during the general elections of 2019”, he affirmed, Wednesday, before the British parliamentarians, judging that it would not be “responsible” to abandon his functions. . But the pressure is growing hour by hour against the Brexit defender.
