The resignation of the head of British diplomacy, Boris Johnson, a few hours after the resignation of the minister in charge of the process of withdrawal of Great Britain from the EU, David Davis, is in line with their political logic, the Parisian newspaper "Mond" assessed today, asking whether their resignations represent the end of worries for Theresa May or the beginning of the end of her government.
"Both of them threatened the British Prime Minister that they would slam the door on her, but they have not done so so far. After two years of internal conflicts over Brexit, the pumpkin has finally burst," the newspaper said in a comment on the resignations of British ministers.
Mond states that after the resignation of Davis and in a tense political atmosphere, Johnson, known for his fiery temper, also submitted a letter of resignation, which started earlier rumors about the possible initiation of a vote of no confidence in the government and the beginning of a political crisis.
The Paris paper adds that Prime Minister May unusually quickly replaced the two "hardest supporters of Brexit" who disagreed with her policies.
Jeremy Hunt, former Minister of Health, will be the new head of diplomacy instead of "Bojo (BoJo) as he is called in the British public", while eurosceptic Dominic Raab has been appointed instead of Davis.
