Johnson has responded to the police questionnaire on the "partygate"

El primer ministro británico Boris Johnson ha entregado su respuesta al cuestionario policial sobre las fiestas en Downing Street que podrían haber vulnerado las regulaciones sanitarias impuestas por la pandemia, dijo su oficina el viernes, informa Afp.

La policía investiga las acusaciones de que Johnson habría acudido a encuentros que se saltaron el confinamiento y las normas de distanciamiento social, tras las revelaciones de algunos medios que han dejado al primer ministro luchando por su supervivencia política.

La semana pasada, Scotland Yard señaló que enviarían "cuestionarios formales a más de 50 personas" para preguntar sobre sus actividades en las fechas de al menos 12 encuentros en Downing Street entre 2020 y 2021.

El documento "tiene estatuto formal legal y debe ser respondido sinceramente" en un margen de siete días, indicó. Aquí la información completa

El primer ministro, que presentó su respuesta a tiempo, se arriesga a una multa salvo que pueda ofrecer razones creíbles por las que acudió a esos eventos a pesar de las restricciones vigentes por el coronavirus.

Johnson ya se disculpó en el Parlamento por una serie de encuentros identificados en un informe redactado por una alta funcionaria, pero se mostró dispuesto a seguir en el cargo.
