Britain's Brexit Minister David Davis has resigned. This was reported by international news agencies on Monday night, citing sources close to Davis.
The office of Prime Minister Theresa May and the Brexit Ministry in London did not want to comment on reports at the request of the DPA.
The move comes a few days after May announced an agreement to settle the dispute over the country's Brexit strategy. However, the new plan was considered by many hard-pressed Brexit elites as a departure from the EU exit.
Davis is considered the ardent representative of a clear break with Brussels. He had threatened to resign in the past if May tied the country too closely to Brussels. Britain leaves the European Union on March 29, 2019.
Bash for Prime Minister
May ordered his cabinet to conduct a twelve-hour marathon session on the estate from Checker in northwestern London on Friday. The ministers even had to hand over their smartphones at the closed meeting. In the evening, May announced that the government had agreed on a new Brexit plan. But the agreement was only submitted to strong pressure.
For the month of May, the resignation of Davis is a blow. She must now count with more resistance from the Brexit wing of her party. About 60 MPs from their group will be counted. If more government members take off their hat, they could bring serious distress. (chk / sda)
