The Canadian Prime Minister announced his resignation on Monday, after leading the country for almost a decade.
Justin Trudeau announced he was stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister at a news conference in the capital Ottawa.
He was faced with increasing calls for resignation within his party and a “paralyzed” Parliament, in his words.
Justin Trudeau clarified that he would remain in his post until his party chooses a new leader: “This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and I understood that if I had to fight internal battles , I could not be the best option in these elections. »
-With Canadians frustrated by inflation and rising housing prices, the prime minister was under intense pressure from his own party and the opposition.
His popularity has declined in recent years, as people are preoccupied with economic issues and the political situation.
