London, Thanasis Gavos
The angry reaction of the opposition is provoked in Britain by the possibility that it will not be revealed whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be called to pay a fine in the context of the police investigation for the partygate.
London Metropolitan Police are investigating 12 reported parties on Downing Street and other government buildings amid a lockdown. If it finds violations, it is expected to impose fines.
Asked about it, a Downing Street spokesman said it was up to the police to make public the results of their investigations.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said later that it was common practice not to provide information on the identities of people fined during the pandemic.
The shadow leader of the Labor Party Angela Rainer immediately commented: “I do not think I need to say it, but the citizens have a right to know if the Prime Minister is found by the police to have committed a crime.”
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davy spoke of the “smell of cover-up from No. 10” and commented that “even Richard Nixon believed that a country deserves to know whether its leader is a fraud.
Reactions have also been sparked by Boris Johnson’s reproduction in Monday’s heated parliamentary debate of the far-right allegation that Labor leader Sir Starr’s Labor had not ousted the pedophile BBC presenter Jimmy Saeed.
The Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, today addressed a remark to the Prime Minister, calling his comment “inappropriate”.
However, a Downing Street spokesman said that Boris Johnson insisted on accusing Mr. Starmer of using his parliamentary immunity.
