British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologized again for breaking corona rules at lockdown parties in Downing Street. He takes full responsibility, but has learned from the mistakes, Johnson said in Parliament on Wednesday. There have already been changes, which internal investigator Sue Gray also noted in her “Partygate” report. The prime minister did not mention a resignation.
Johnson said he stopped by meetings to express thanks and appreciation to his hard-working employees. “Some of these meetings lasted longer than necessary and were clearly a breach of the rules,” the prime minister admitted. He was not aware of these violations at the time. He was just as surprised and disappointed as everyone else.
Boris Johnson appears to have broken the rules on only one occasion
Johnson stressed that the police investigation had shown that his behavior had not broken the rules except for one case. Now that the investigation is complete, the country can look ahead and leave the case behind.
Top official Gray had accused the government of serious failure and misconduct and called for top management to take responsibility.
