The opposition is urging the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Finance Minister Rishi Sunak over fines in the "Partygate" scandal.
"You broke the law.
They were dishonest," Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey told the BBC on Wednesday.
The trust in top politicians, which is so important in times of crisis, has disappeared.
Johnson is the first prime minister to break the law while in office.
Nonetheless, many cabinet members and MPs from Johnson's Conservative Party backed the Prime Minister.
The Liberal Democrats, the largest opposition party Labor and the Scottish National Party (SNP) are calling for Parliament to be convened from the Easter break because of the penalties.
Johnson lied to Parliament and now has to face MPs.
Scottish and Welsh leaders Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) and Mark Drakeford (Labour) are also calling for Johnson's resignation.
Downing Street had announced the previous day that Johnson, his wife and Sunak had each received a penalty notice for breaking corona rules.
It's about a meeting for Johnson's birthday on June 19, 2020. The London police are investigating a total of twelve suspected lockdown parties at the government seat.
It cannot be ruled out that Johnson will receive further penalties.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps downplayed the case.
He understands the anger in the population, Shapps told Sky News.
But Johnson was surprised by his team for a brief congratulation on a busy day.
"It shouldn't have happened.
He paid a £50 fine.
That was right.” Several Tory MPs, as well as conservative media, have warned against overthrowing the prime minister during the Ukraine war.
