British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologized and defended the government’s work during the pandemic, assuring that “helping the population was given priority”.
‘s internal report Sue Graythe official investigating Boris Johnson’s ruling parties during the coronavirus pandemic — known as the Party Gate —points out that the UK executive has been guilty of “failures in leadership” and calls for “responsibilities” within government to be clarified.
The 37-page document delivered to the Prime Minister this Wednesday Boris Johnson and which includes hitherto unpublished photos of the parties, indicates that “regardless of the original intent” of the recorded events, “most of the meetings that took place did not respect the restrictions and sanitary guidelines imposed at the time” as a result of the pandemic.
For example, Gray has assured that there is evidence that “a large number of individuals” were involved – something also supported by the Scotland Yard investigation – and has emphasized that despite the “pressure to which authorities and advisers” provide evidence of ” inconsistent attitudes and behaviour”.
“The events I investigated should not have happened. We can infer that many of the employees who attended these meetings believed they could participate because their superiors did,” the report says, showing that “the events investigated were attended by government leaders”.
Among the batches examined by Gray, which started in May 2020, several stand out in the Downing Street garden, in the building’s outbuildings or in the Ministry of Education.
The British official has insisted on the importance of “purging responsibilities” and has stated that “senior officials at the center of the issue should bear responsibility for what happened”. “The public has a right to expect the highest standards of behavior in these kinds of places and it is clear that what has happened falls far short,” he warned.
Johnson apologizes.
During an intervention for the House of RepresentativesJohnson has apologized and defended the government’s work during the pandemic, assuring that “helping the population was given priority”.
He also thanked Gray for his work and apologized again for “the small meeting” that took place in the cabinet office and for which he has already been fined. “I am fully responsible for everything that happened there,” he added.
However, he has clarified that “this is his chance to explain what he thinks happened” and stated that the rest of the events mentioned in the report cannot be covered by him because “he just wasn’t there.” “.
