British police announced on Tuesday that they had issued more than 50 fines for breaches of anti-Covid rules during parties organized in circles of power, without specifying who was targeted by these sanctions following the “Partygate” weakening Boris Johnson. After imposing the first 20 fines at the end of March, Scotland Yard said in a statement that more than 50 had now been issued. “We are making every effort to move this investigation forward quickly, which means continuing to assess significant amounts of material,” London’s Metropolitan Police added, indicating that further sanctions may be issued.
The police do not specify either who are the people targeted or what are the events concerned, while the revelations have been linked in recent months on the leaving drinks, birthday parties or other evenings during the successive confinements imposed for two years. Downing Street said the media would be informed if the Prime Minister was concerned, but has always refused to comment on his wife Carrie Johnson. This scandal had plunged into an unprecedented crisis Boris Johnson, who had come to power triumphantly in July 2019 and had a long-lasting popularity.
A time considered to be on an ejection seat in January in the face of defections in his majority, the conservative leader seems to have overcome the crisis, in particular by touting his leading role in the sanctions imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
