British politician announced his resignation on Monday, July 9, announced that he had decided to resign as Minister of foreign Affairs after, I realized that in government Theresa may not agree with his stance on the issue of withdrawal from the EU.
This Boris Johnson said in a letter to may, published on his page on the social network Twitter.
“Out of the EU was supposed to symbolize the opportunity and hope. It should be able to do things differently, become more efficient and agile and to maximize the benefits of Britain as an open, global economy. This dream is now dying, strangled by unnecessary doubt. We are in a ridiculous situation when we in the negotiations, we assume that in the future will not be able to make our own laws.
In this regard we are really moving to the status of a colony, and would be difficult for many to understand what would be the economic or political benefits of such agreements. It is also apparent that relinquishing control over our standards regarding goods and food products (and more besides) much more complicated for us the possibility of concluding deals for free trade”.
