twenty fines imposed by London police

Clandestine parties in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic were organized at the main residence of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in London (United Kingdom). Initial fines have been issued as part of the investigation, but Scotland Yard did not say who was affected. “For the moment, the British Prime Minister would not have received a fine, his spokesman announced, but he also said that if Boris Johnson were to receive one, the information would be made public“, reports the journalist France Télévisions Londres Maëlys Septembre from the English capital for the 8 Hours of France 2, Wednesday March 30.

“Twenty fines for non-compliance with confinement will be sent to members of the staff of the Prime Minister or other ministries“, continues the journalist, who specifies that they were inflicted as part of the investigation into “Partygate”, these supposedly illegal parties which took place in full confinement.These fines clearly revive criticism against Boris Johnson, in particular from Labour. For them, these sanctions are proof that Boris Johnson lied to the House of Commons, because he initially said that there had been no parties in his offices“, adds Maëlys Septembre. The opposition is again calling for the resignation of the head of the British government.
