Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson “deliberately misled” the House of Commons about “pathygates,” parties at the Downing Street residence during the pandemic, according to the conclusion of a parliamentary committee that released the Johnson report in a first reaction today. called “garbage”.
“We concluded that when you told the House of Representatives and this committee that the rules and guidelines were being followed, your own knowledge was such that you deliberately misled the House of Representatives and this committee,” the Committee of Privileges said in its opinion. investigating “patigate” for more than a year.
Johnson, who led government from July 2019 to September 2022, announced last Friday that he would immediately resign from his seat as MP for the English constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislipo, given that the committee “made clear in a letter preparing to expel him from the lower house.
The committee, which has a Conservative majority albeit led by Labor member Harriet Harman, recommends in a report that Johnson, 58, be suspended from the House of Commons for a period of 90 days, although he admits that this will not apply because the politician has already resigned from the House of Commons. the post of parliamentarian.
The former head of government was “an accomplice in the committee’s campaign of abuse and attempts at intimidation,” the investigation points out, and vetoes his access to the chamber, recommending “that he has no right to impersonate a former parliamentarian.”
At the end of 2021, when the scandal surfaced, Johnson assured the House of Commons that he was not aware that the social restrictions in place during the pandemic had been violated.
In his first reaction to the report today, Johnson called the report accusing him of deliberately misleading the House of Commons “garbage”.
“The Committee says that I deliberately misled the Chamber and that when I spoke I deliberately concealed from the Chamber my knowledge of the offense. It’s garbage. It’s a lie. To come to this wild conclusion, the committee is forced to say a number of things that are either absurd or contrary to the facts,” Johnson said.
In his statement, the former head of the conservative government considered that today is “a terrible day for deputies and democracy”, and assured that not a single parliamentarian is “insured against revenge.”
“This report is a farce. I was wrong when I believed the committee or its good faith. The terrible truth is that it was not I who twisted the truth for my own purposes. This is Harriet Harman and her committee,” he added.
