The 'tories' rule out a new investigation into an alleged "illicit" meeting at Johnson's house

MADRID, 30 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Members of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom have ruled out this Monday carrying out a new investigation into an alleged "illegal" meeting that would have taken place at the home of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, during the confinement imposed in the framework of the coronavirus pandemic.

The meeting would not have been taken into account during the investigation carried out by Sue Gray on what is known as 'Partygate', the scandal surrounding the parties and meetings held in Downing Street at the most critical moments of the health crisis.

For the 'tories' an "incredibly exhaustive analysis" of what happened has already been carried out. The report written by Gray points out that the British Executive incurred in "leadership failures" and asks that "responsibilities" within the Government be purged, although Johnson has apologized but has defended the work of the Executive.

Now, Labor MPs have called for an investigation into a series of messages suggesting that Johnson and his wife, Carrie, met two friends at their home on the British 'premier''s birthday on June 19, 2020. In those dates all gatherings in open places were prohibited.

This fact was not included in Gray's report, as indicated by a senior government official in statements to the newspaper 'The Guardian'. For Labor, everything points to an attempt to "cover up" the actions of the prime minister, who has already had to pay a fine for violating health restrictions.

However, the Secretary of State for Culture and Digital Communication, Chris Philip, has indicated that "greater scrutiny is not necessary, since" it has been thoroughly investigated for six months ", he has justified.

Philip has insisted that both Gray and Scotland Yard spoke to everyone involved and asked them to provide information during the investigations. “There have been two investigations and I think it would only be necessary to investigate again if something really important has happened that is not yet known,” he said.
