Rishi Sunak Apologizes for Leaving Normandy D-Day Commemorations Early for General Election Interview
Jun 7, 2024, 06:58 AM
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has apologized for leaving the 80th anniversary D-Day commemorations in Normandy early to return to the UK for a General Election television interview. Sunak admitted that it was a mistake not to stay in France longer and expressed regret over his decision. The incident has drawn heavy criticism from military figures and political opponents, who have accused Sunak of disrespecting veterans and showing poor judgment. ITV's Paul Brand confirmed that the interview was conducted on the same day Sunak left the event, and it will not be broadcast until the following week. David Cameron filled in for Sunak at the British event in Normandy. The controversy has sparked a backlash, with some suggesting it could be a significant misstep in Sunak's election campaign, which is already facing challenges.
