"The dream of breccia dies" - as the former Foreign Minister Boris Johnson described in his letter, both his resignation and the policy of the current British government. The text of a two-page statement addressed to Prime Minister Teresa May was posted on Twitter. "I am proud to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. With sadness, I'm leaving: here's my letter explaining why, "- anticipated Johnson's explanations. In particular, he writes "Dear Therese" that as a result of the actions of the British authorities in the negotiations on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the opportunities were lost that were hoped for by Her Majesty's subjects. According to Johnson, "the dream dies, choking on unnecessary self-doubt" because London will have to accept the norms of European law that are imposed on it from outside, without being able to influence them. As a result, he believes, the country runs the risk of finding itself in a "semi-brexite" that will leave parts of the UK economy within the trade bloc, without state control. "In this sense, we are really moving towards the status of the colony - and many will have to work hard to see the economic or political benefits of this particular arrangement," notes Johnson. Assuming that "dear Theresa" has little ambition to force the EU negotiators to consider the proposals of the UK, he found a comparison of this situation: "it's as if we send our vanguard into battle with white flags flying over them". Also, apart from economic agreements, he expressed serious concerns about the obligations that London takes on the issue of illegal migrants. The ex-Foreign Minister did not fail to boast of the good work of the department headed by him - "extraordinary men and women". Johnson stressed that the UK has many friends in the world, and as an example, he led the expulsion from 28 countries of "Russian spies" in response to the incident in Salisbury, where they poisoned the former intelligence officer of the GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia in March of this year.
