It is a return to politics as spectacular as it is unexpected. Former British Prime Minister David Cameron was appointed Foreign Minister on Monday November 13. Aged 57, the man who triggered the Brexit referendum in 2016 takes the helm of British diplomacy after the departure of James Cleverly, chosen by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to succeed Suella Braverman, sacked after having expressed strong criticism towards the police, at the Ministry of the Interior.
David Cameron left power in 2016 after the victory of “Leave” in the referendum on the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, to which he was opposed. He had no choice but to resign, after losing his gamble by triggering a high-risk referendum on an issue that was tearing the long-standing Conservative Party apart.
In order to be able to enter the government when he was no longer an MP, David Cameron was appointed to the upper house of the British Parliament, that of the Lords, according to 10 Downing Street, which also announced that the Minister of Finance Jeremy Hunt was kept in his post.
