Leo #Varadkar posting this would cross the memes

Dos semanas después de la salida por sorpresa de Leo #Varadkar del Gobierno de la República de #Irlanda, el que fue su rival para la presidencia del partido y ministro de Finanzas, Simon Coveney, también abandona el Gabinete antes de que Simon Harris se ponga al frente. Según afirma, lo hace para “facilitar la renovación del partido”

“once [Brexit and Covid] were behind him, he was left with the persistent long-term questions of underdevelopment in housing, healthcare and so many other areas of public provision, for which his faith in “simple market dynamics” provided no convincing answers…it is not just #Varadkar himself who has run out of road. It is the whole idea of trying to govern a rapidly expanding State while sticking to a market ideology.’ - O’Toole

#Varadkar ‘resigning as leader of Fine Gael and will resign as taoiseach… there was no visible pressure to quit, no evident palace coup intrigues’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/20/leo-varadkar-irish-leader-caps-off-legacy-of-firsts-with-shock-departure

Next imperative in taking the lid off the hypocrisy of the British "establishment" is publication of a list of Members of the UK legislature who hold dual UK/EU Member-state passports. (All those Brexit supporters, who knew they didn't stand to lose their Freedom of Movement, or moved fast in secret to maintain it by exploiting the generosity of other nations). C'mon please Mr #Varadkar - give us a leaving present, tell us who are the "Irish" citizens passing racist & xenophobic laws of the UK?

#Varadkar spoke a great game, and led #Ireland exceptionally well through Brexit and Covid. For that, he deserves our thanks and respect.

Alas, in other arenas, his actions, voting, and policies did not live up to his words, and he was getting worse. Harsh as it sounds, resignation is the best thing he could do for his legacy.

@MartinJBreen Are there any likely-seeming theories as to why?

"personal and political reasons" is the most perfect summary of his whole career

#Varadkar
Here's your hat, what's the hurry

Have to laugh at the number of Brits calling #Varadkar a ‘lefty liberal’. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The guy is the nearest thing to a Tory that we have. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Leo Varadkar resigns. Looks like criticising Biden over Gaza isn't such a good idea.

#Varadkar anuncia su marcha por sorpresa —en principio por razones personales, pero también es cierto que su partido no termina de carburar en los sondeos y, si hay alguien que debería ser incapaz de dar las elecciones de 2025 por perdidas ante Sinn Féin como hace todo el mundo, esos son Fine Gael

“The stability of the coalition Government is not thought to be in question at this point.”
HOW?? #Varadkar #mastodaoine

The stony faces. #Varadkar

#Irlanda
Leo #Varadkar (#FG|EPP) rimarrà in carica fino a quando non verrà eletto un nuovo leader di FG. Paschal #Donohoe, Simon #Harris, Simon #Coveney e Heather #Humphreys sono tra i nomi ipotizzati per succederlo.
Il nuovo leader di FG manterrà la carica di Taoiseach (Primo Ministro) per il resto del mandato di questo governo (previsto per inizio 2025).
