(ANSA) - LONDON, AUGUST 03 - The internal voting procedures of the conservative party that must choose the successor of the outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, following fears of hacker attacks advanced by Gchq, the intelligence agency, have suffered a slowdown for security reasons United Kingdom responsible for cyber espionage and counterespionage.
This was revealed today on the front page of the pro-Tory Daily Telegraph, according to which the alert has only caused the delay in sending the ballots to the members of the majority party who must decide through the post office their new leader and the next prime minister.
The times set for the epilogue of the two-player match between Foreign Minister Liz Truss and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, which remains set for 5 September, do not change.
Epilogue that seems to have already been decided, at least according to the poll published by the Times: Truss is still rising, gaining 60% of consensus among members, at least before yesterday's embarrassing reversal on the idea of lowering the salaries of public employees living outside London.
The advantage of the Minister over his rival Sunak is based on a substantial continuity with what Johnson did (whose most extremist praetorians support Truss with a sword right from the start), on the line in foreign policy and above all on the relaunch to the right in fiscal policy with promises of cuts to rain on the axes extended even to that recently introduced on food sweeping.
