The British and Eurocritic minister Johnson also gets on

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson (54) resigned Monday afternoon. His resignation follows the earlier departure of David Davis from the May Cabinet. Davis was in charge of the brexit file. Davis' right-hand man, Steve Baker, of the Brexit Ministry, has also resigned.

May proposed a new brexit minister, the 44-year-old Brexiteer, Dominic Raab. She said after Johnson's resignation that "her brexit proposal is a good lesson". According to the Prime Minister, the cabinet agreement last Friday is "consistent with the wishes of the British voter and consistent with the party's position on the Conservatives.

Cabinet Crisis

The British Prime Minister seemed to have Johnson's backing on Friday for "a mild Brexit". With that, the rows in her wardrobe seemed closed and the crisis of the cabinet was prevented. Part of the plan is that the British, at their own discretion, protect their own borders and that immigration from EU countries is stopped. The free movement of persons disappears in the British proposal. May wants to create a free trade zone between the EU and Britain, which regulates trade in agricultural and industrial products. The latter is against the sore leg of the advocates of "hard brexit". who want to cut ties with the EU to a large extent.

Johnson, who had stepped up, was the main face of the campaign before the British departure from the European Union. Johnson, the former mayor of London, said Saturday to the faithful that he had decided to stay to fight for the EU's exit in his campaign. The resigning foreign minister is expected to explain his decision later on Monday.

Furious

May had threatened Saturday with the dismissal in the British newspaper The Times. "If he is trying to undermine the British position, he will be fired," she said in May, talking to Conservative leaders for parliamentary support, and supporters of the party. a "hard brexit". May is enlisting the support of Labor MPs to push his plan for "soft brexit".
