Boris Johnson apologizes for partying during lockdown

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has issued a formal apology for organizing parties that were attended by the top of the Conservative Party during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is reported by Axios.

The publication notes that Johnson made the statement in the context of talk about the possible resignation of the government due to the organization of parties in May 2020. At the same time, the government previously denied holding any entertainment events during epidemiological restrictions.

"I want to apologize. I know that millions of people have made huge sacrifices. I know what suffering they went through. I know how furious they feel, ”said the head of the British government.

Parties by Britain's political elite have been held several times during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, public outrage was caused by the recent publication of an invitation to a party that took place in May 2020. It was sent an hour after the ban on citizens of the country to gather more than two by two. It invited guests to "enjoy the beautiful weather" and urged them to bring their own drinks.

Earlier media reported that traces of cocaine were found in the British Parliament. Remains of the drug were found in 90% of the places that came under inspection - including in the toilets near the office of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
