Despite the rebellion in the conservative party, the House of Commons has given the green light to the covid passport and other measures proposed by the prime minister to deal with the pandemic.
The Westminster House of Commons yesterday gave the green light to the covid passport in discos and mass events and other measures proposed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to face the pandemic. The British Prime Minister had to overcome the biggest internal rebellion in Parliament since he came to power. And it is that up to 96 conservative deputies voted against their own government.
With part of his party against it, Boris Johnson would have lost the vote if he had not had the punctual support of the Labor opposition. Finally, the British prime minister saved the vote by 369 votes to 126.
Controversy also generated the obligation for health personnel to be vaccinated against covid-9 starting next year -61 conservatives rejected it- and the reimposition of indoor masks -38 “tories” were against-, although both measures were also approved.
The British Minister of Health, Sajid Jaivid, defended that these plans are necessary to avoid the saturation of hospitals in the face of the rapid expansion of the omicron variant, while the conservative deputy Mark Harper, one of the ringleaders of the revolt, accused the Executive of having unnecessarily entered “panic and emergency mode”.
