中新网3月20日电 据英国广播公司(BBC)报道，当地时间20日，爱尔兰总理利奥·瓦拉德卡宣布将辞去统一党党首职务和总理职务。
瓦拉德卡在一份声明中表示，他已告知总统希金斯，他将辞去总理职务，并将在未来几天内与各党派领导人会面，以确保政府的平稳过渡。
瓦拉德卡的辞职决定是在统一党内对于他的领导地位出现分歧后做出的。据报道，一些统一党议员对瓦拉德卡的政策和领导风格表示不满，这导致了党内紧张关系的加剧。
瓦拉德卡自2017年起担任爱尔兰总理，此前他曾担任卫生部长等职务。他在任期间面临了包括英国脱欧、新冠疫情等一系列挑战。
爱尔兰政治观察家指出，瓦拉德卡的辞职可能会引发爱尔兰政治格局的变化，统一党可能会选出新的党首，并组建新政府。

BBC News, March 20 – Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has announced that he will step down as leader of the Fine Gael party and as Prime Minister.
In a statement, Varadkar said he had informed President Michael D. Higgins of his decision to resign as Prime Minister and that he would meet with leaders of other parties in the coming days to ensure a smooth transition of government.
Varadkar’s resignation comes after internal divisions within Fine Gael over his leadership. Reports suggest that some Fine Gael lawmakers are dissatisfied with Varadkar’s policies and leadership style, leading to increased tensions within the party.
Varadkar has been Ireland’s Prime Minister since 2017, having previously served as Minister for Health and other roles. During his tenure, he has faced a number of challenges, including Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Irish political analysts note that Varadkar’s resignation could lead to changes in the country’s political landscape, with Fine Gael likely to elect a new leader and form a new government.
