House Speaker Anthony Rota resigns

House Speaker Anthony Rota has resigned.

There were constant demands for Rota's resignation.

Rota's resignation will be effective at the end of the meeting day on Wednesday.

He had invited 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka who fought for the Nazis to attend a speech by the President of Ukraine.

Earlier, the opposition demanded the resignation of the Speaker, but later some cabinet ministers also joined.

Anthony also apologized to the MPs when the proceedings of Parliament started on Monday.

While apologizing for this in the House of Commons, Speaker Rota said that he alone was responsible for inviting this person to Parliament and the federal government had no role in it.

But this matter escalated and the demand for resignation intensified, after which Anthony Rota has resigned today.
