The future of the British Interior Minister, in the air due to a new controversy

The Minister of the Interior of the United Kingdom, Suella Braverman, has generated a new controversy for the publication of an article in which she has openly accused the Police of “favoring” the protesters in favor of the rights of the Palestinians in the face of the protests this Saturday, a text from which the Government has distanced itself and which leaves its future up in the air, despite the fact that the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, theoretically has full confidence in it.

In an article in The Times, Braverman criticized the Police's decision not to ban the pro-Palestine march despite criticism from the Government for risking possible acts of vandalism, pointing out that the officers are “more lenient” with these protesters than “with other groups”.

In an unusual attack against the agents by a senior Interior official, he also stated that the Metropolitan Police has “ignored the infractions committed by pro-Palestinian mobs” in the context of the protests that have taken place during in recent weeks against Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Downing Street has opened an investigation into this text, although formally it prefers to call it an “internal process” to make it clear that it is not a formal investigation to examine whether Braverman incurred any type of violation of the code of conduct that is assumed. a member of the Government.

A spokesperson for Sunak has avoided giving more details in this regard, although she has responded affirmatively to doubts about whether the 'premier' still trusts his Home Secretary.. Downing Street usually uses this formula, which in practical terms implies assuming that the designated person has not been dismissed, beyond intuiting future support.

Among those who have publicly distanced themselves from Braverman are Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt.. “These are not the words I would have used,” Hunt said, then went on to say that he maintains a “productive relationship” with his partner and that he does not hesitate to approve key funds in the area of security and immigration.

The British media assume that there will be no movement this weekend, given that it coincides with Armistice Day, which commemorates the end of the First World War, but they avoid getting their fingers caught on what may happen from Monday, given realize that Braverman seems increasingly determined to mark her own profile within the Executive.

In recent days, her words about people who, according to her, choose to live on the streets “as a lifestyle” have also been controversial.. He has also used terms such as “invasion” or “hurricane” when talking about the arrival of migrants and refugees, with constant calls to stop the flow of boats in the English Channel and speed up deportations.

Braverman had already been part of previous cabinets and resigned from Liz Truss's cabinet after acknowledging that he had breached security protocols.. However, just a few days later Sunak recovered her for that same portfolio, entrusting her with one of the policies, immigration, that the current prime minister has most fervently advocated for reform.
