Canada has been shaken for several days by a controversy caused by the tribute paid to a Ukrainian veteran who fought with the Nazis during the Second World War, during President Zelensky’s visit.
The controversy finally got the better of the president of the Canadian parliament. Anthony Rota resigned after the scandal caused by the tribute paid to a Ukrainian veteran who fought with the Nazis during the Second World War during President Zelensky’s visit. “It is with a heavy heart that I rise to inform members of my resignation as Speaker of the House of Commons,” said Anthony Rota in parliament, speaking about “his deep regret for his mistake”.
“A shame”
The latter had been under pressure since last weekend since all parties were calling for his resignation – including the leaders of his clan, the Liberals of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The latter had spoken of a tribute “unacceptable” et “embarrassing”.
“What happened on Friday is completely unacceptable”Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly declared to the press earlier on Tuesday in the corridors of parliament. “It was a disgrace to the House and to Canadians, and I think the Speaker should listen to the members of the House and resign”she added.
