Truss assures that she is "ready" to press the nuclear button if she is elected British Prime Minister

MADRID, 24 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The UK Foreign Minister and candidate to lead the British Conservatives, Liz Truss, assured Tuesday night that "she is ready" to press the nuclear button if she is finally chosen to replace Boris Johnson. , fallen into disgrace after his latest scandals.

"I think it's an important duty as prime minister. I'm ready for it," she responded to a question during the pre-election debate that pitted her against former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, with whom the new leadership of the Conservative Party is in dispute.

At the beginning of July, the still British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was forced to resign as leader of the Conservative Party, after the cascade of resignations that occurred within his government due to the scandals he had been involved in, being the 'partygate ' the best known of them.

Waiting for a successor, whoever replaces him will be able to serve as prime minister thanks to the loose majority the 'Tories' have in the House of Commons, so in principle an early election is not expected. The next general elections should be held in January 2025.
