FOr in El País, Spain, his “magic power has disappeared.” For the liberation of France, he was “the only actor in the world”. Boris Johnson Performance-more and more failure.” In Germany, Der Spiegel asked how long Britain was ruled by “almost completely rebelled optimism”.
As scandals increased, approval ratings fell, Election failure Accumulation, the rebellion multiplied, and the Brexit lieutenant he trusted Jump off the boat And the Omicron variant is rampant, the mainland media seems to be – creating a phrase – not in the mood give rest To the troubled British Prime Minister.
“Johnson said he accepts responsibility,” Write liberation“But for what? His party failed miserably in North Shropshire. This was triggered by his own support of local lawmakers accused of corruption? During the state blockade, many parties under his roof?”

The newspaper’s former London correspondent Sonia Delesalle-Stolper said, “Let no one laugh anymore. Today, he has any legitimacy to ask the British people the least effort The matter? He has repeatedly stated that his moral compass is either completely non-existent or completely skewed.”
She said that he has few friends, no real family, and surrounded by “mediocre politicians who are intoxicated by the unexpected powers given to them by the referendum.” He is a one-man band-his future looks far from certain.
Mirror To put it bluntly, only two years after “the apparently glorious election victory of political entertainers”, Johnson today is like “a burnt-out fire eater: no more sparks, no flickering flames, only in Downing Street The cold smoke rising above.”
However, the newspaper’s London correspondent Jorg Schindler concluded that it is not yet certain whether the prime minister who “has a Pinocchio-like relationship with the truth” is about to leave the stage.

Let him get rid of the family’s predicament”.
The newspaper said that in the face of “the onslaught of Omicron before Christmas and the supply chain problems that have been exacerbated by Brexit, resulting in no truck drivers in the UK and empty supermarket shelves”, what Johnson needs last is “a bloody conflict with the EU”. European Union”.

Dutch newspapers De Volkskrant warning Frost’s departure was “a new blow to the Prime Minister after his parliamentary party rebellion and the failure of the by-election”, Added question It has now become about “Johnson’s personality”. His great strength is to win elections. If this doesn’t work anymore, there really isn’t much left. “
