Political earthquake in Britain, where the BBC broadcasts the news that the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigns.
Earlier the Mirror, citing Downing Street staff, had reported that Johnson was resigning.
According to the BBC, the British Prime Minister will make statements within the next few hours.
The Sun newspaper wrote that Johnson will remain in the Conservative leadership until a new party president is elected in the summer.
And this while there is no end to the barrage of resignations from Boris Johnson’s government. The circle around the British prime minister has tightened, while two of his previously close associates have announced that they are saying goodbye to him.
It is noted that today Britain’s new finance minister, Nadeem Zahawi, called on Boris Johnson to resign, less than 48 hours after Johnson promoted him, saying that the crisis that has engulfed the government can only get worse.
“This situation is not sustainable and can only get worse for you, for the Conservative Party and above all for the whole country,” Zahawi tweeted after more than 50 ministers, undersecretaries and advisers resigned from the government.
“You must do the right thing and resign now,” he himself called on the prime minister.
Zahawi did not say he was resigning, but said he visited the prime minister’s office in Downing Street yesterday evening with cabinet colleagues to call on Johnson to “resign with dignity”.
“I am devastated that he did not listen and that he is now undermining the incredible achievements of this government. The country deserves a government that will not only be stable but also act with integrity. Prime Minister, you know in your heart that the right thing to do is to resign and resign now,” Zahawi wrote in a letter.
Yesterday, the new finance minister, when asked about this, replied that any decision to call early elections would be taken by the prime minister himself.
