In the aftermath of Boris Johnson's resignation from the Conservative Party and his announced departure as head of the British government, what consequences for Northern Ireland?
The Prime Minister was the architect of a hard Brexit which includes a protocol on Northern Ireland supposed to guarantee peace and the fluidity of trade between the North and the South of the Island.
But this protocol has never been respected.
The end of the Johnson government therefore marks the end of an era of distrust because many promises have not been kept.
