Despite the crisis in their own country – Brexit Boris is on luxury vacation in Spain – Politics abroad

by time news

Rising energy prices, empty supermarket shelves and closed gas stations in the UK. And what is Prime Minister Boris Johnson (57) doing? He’s on a luxury vacation despite the crisis.

Johnson is currently said to be spending a five-star family vacation with his wife Carrie and son Wilfred in an opulent villa in Marbella, southern Spain.

Price per week in the “Villa Torre Tramores”: 25,000 pounds (around 29,450 euros). This is reported by the British “Daily Mail”. A government spokesman did not want to confirm on Monday whether Johnson will pay the costs himself.

The property, which has its own helipad, belongs to the millionaire politician Lord Zac Goldsmith (46). The former Conservative MP was raised to the nobility by Johnson in 2019 so that he can continue serving as minister despite the loss of his mandate.

But while Johnson is enjoying the Spanish late summer, the British are suffering from the supply crisis in their country. British families were even predicted to have a “winter of discontent”.

No wonder the British prime minister’s trip sparked criticism.

“In my opinion, now is not the time for a prime minister to be on vacation,” the head of the steel company UK Steel said indignantly on Monday. His company has come under pressure due to high energy costs.

Energy-intensive industries, such as the steel sector, have been demanding a signal of support from the government in London for days in vain in order to cope with the massive costs. The UK is particularly hard hit by the global rise in gas prices because of its low inventory levels. At the same time, an acute shortage of skilled workers is becoming increasingly noticeable in many areas. Because there are not enough truck drivers, supermarket shelves remain empty and petrol stations are closed.

Downing Street, on the other hand, stressed on Monday that the prime minister “continues to be in charge, as always”. Johnson would work on the property and keep abreast of the utility and energy crisis. He is also in regular contact with the ministers.
