British Prime Minister Johnson apologized in parliament for attending a meeting to celebrate his birthday at the Prime Minister's Office amid continued strict regulations on the new coronavirus.
In the United Kingdom, police are investigating allegations that parties were held repeatedly at the Prime Minister's Office and other places from the time when strict regulations were being imposed on the new corona infection control (2020) to last year.
This month, Prime Minister Johnson revealed that he had been fined and paid by police for attending a meeting to celebrate his birthday in the Prime Minister's Office in June.
Prime Minister Johnson apologized in Congress on the 19th, saying, "I didn't think attending the meeting would be a violation at the time, but it was my mistake. I sincerely apologize."
According to the British media, it is the first time that the incumbent Prime Minister has been fined in violation of the law, and opposition parties and others are calling for resignation, but Prime Minister Johnson responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He said he would continue to lead the administration, saying he had a responsibility.
