The British Prime Minister, the conservative Boris Johnson, placed this Saturday a crown of flowers at the doors of the Church of Leigh-on-Sea (East of England) where his colleague David Amess was killed on Friday while attending his voters.
Johnson went to the town of Essex County, on the outskirts of London, accompanied by the Minister of the Interior, Priti Patel, and also attended the leader of the opponent Labor Party, Keir Starmer.
All presented their respects before the Belphairs Methodist Church, where every Friday Amess received members of his constituency, and left in their respective vehicles without making statements.
The British political class is shocked after the assassination of stabbing of the Tory of 69, by which a 25-year British has been arrested in an event that the police considers an act of terrorism.
Numerous deputies have requested that their security measures be reviewed and arranged if they can continue to receive citizens in person, as usual in the United Kingdom, where, by its political system, each electoral circumscription is represented by a single parliamentarian.
The Minister of the Interior has ordered a review of the current security strategy and is expected to make a statement on Monday before Parliament
