British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has been criticized for having a party during the Corona 19 lockdown, is known to eventually step down as controversy over morality increases.



He is said to remain prime minister until the fall, reports Kim Young-ah.

A member of the parliament fires a direct blow at British Prime Minister Boris Johnson attending Parliament.



[(Isn't that over? Will you continue to be Prime Minister tomorrow?) Of course.

Senator McNeil.]



The demand for Johnson's resignation began last week after the Conservative Party leader Fincher was drunk and sexually assaulted two men.



Rep. Fincher had a history of sexual abuse before, and it was alleged that Prime Minister Johnson appointed him as floor leader knowing this.



Prime Minister Johnson initially denied that he was unaware of his sexual abuse history, but later admitted that it was a matter that had already been resolved, and he changed his words, such as he can't remember.



[Boris Johnson/British Prime Minister: It was a mistake.

I apologize.

That was really something that shouldn't be done wrong.]



As the morality controversy was added to the personnel controversy, the demand for resignation spread out of control.



In the end, from the 5th to yesterday (6th), over 40 ministers and staff resigned one after another, putting the cabinet on the brink of collapse.



British media also said, "The situation is over" and "It is difficult to revive."



Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived by firing Secretary Gove, an aide who recommended the prime minister's voluntary resignation, but eventually succumbed to growing pressure to resign.



Prime Minister Johnson is expected to step down as party leader today and announce his intention to resign as prime minister around October when the process of electing the next prime minister is complete.
