The Brexit has a date set for 31 October, but the project is still blocked, although the debate is on how to carry it out. The only divorce plan is blocked in Parliament. "She will remain prime minister for a few good weeks," May's spokesman said yesterday, adding that any successor should meet Queen Elizabeth II and badure the monarch that she had enough parliamentary support to be at the helm. head of the government.

He added that May would focus on home affairs, but "with regard to Brexit, the prime minister said it would not be up to him to carry out this process," the BBC reported.

May sent the letter with his resignation to the deputy chairmen of the 1922 committee – which brings together Conservative MPs without a portfolio – and was not supposed to make a statement.

The seasoned politician will remain in office until the appointment of her successor in the internal primaries that begin next Monday and which, for the moment, have eleven possible candidates.

The candidate who is going as a favorite is the former Foreign Minister and former mayor of London, Boris Johnson, a supporter of a tough Brexit and who has already announced that he will not be able to do anything. 39, consider no further extension.

The controversial politician said that if he managed to become the next prime minister, the UK would leave the EU on Oct. 31, with or without agreement with Brussels, a position far removed from that of Theresa May, who sought to avoid a sudden departure at all costs.

"I did everything I could to make Brexit a reality, I fought for the UK to serve not only the privileged few, but the whole world and to respect the result of the referendum," said May during his appearance. two weeks ago.

May, 62, took office after the 2016 referendum, during which the British voted in favor of leaving the EU. For three years she worked on a plan and even had to postpone the block departure date twice to accept it.

But he finally threw in the sponge in a resignation speech that he uttered in tears last month, culminating in months of political chaos and deterioration of his authority, driven by rejection by three parliaments of the Brexit agreement with the EU.

Eleven Conservative MPs are in the running to replace it, including former Chancellor Boris Jonhson, but many are expected to vacate by the deadline to apply next Monday. Once the nominations are successful, the 313 Conservative MPs in the House of Commons, including May, will hold the first secret ballot on June 13th.

Those who get the least votes will be eliminated, the goal being to have only two candidates by June 20th. These two will go to an intern in which about 100,000 party members will vote.

The process should be completed for the week beginning July 22nd.
