Under pressure, Starmer refused to give in before the formal opening of the British Parliament.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to continue leading the government despite mounting pressure for his resignation. This statement comes on the eve of the State Opening of the British Parliament, one of the most symbolic political events on the UK's institutional calendar.

The ceremony will be presided over by Charles III in London. In accordance with tradition, the monarch will deliver the King's Speech before both Houses of Parliament to present the legislative program prepared by Keir Starmer's government.

According to Reuters, the prime minister is facing internal political tensions as some officials and elected representatives question his leadership. Despite these criticisms, Starmer intends to project an image of stability and continuity as his government prepares several important reforms.

The opening of Parliament this year is of particular importance, as it will also serve as a political test for the Prime Minister in the face of emerging divisions within his majority. Observers are notably monitoring the growing influence of Wes Streeting, considered by some as a possible political rival to Starmer in the future.

In London, preparations for the ceremony intensified with the deployment of the Royal Guard and increased security measures around Parliament. This highly ceremonial event traditionally attracts the attention of the entire country and officially marks the start of the new parliamentary session.

With the British economy still under pressure and several sensitive issues awaiting the government, Keir Starmer is now seeking to use this political sequence to regain the initiative and demonstrate that he retains control of his executive despite internal turmoil.
