Boris Johnson, Mayor of London: Obama and his procession of cars will have to pay the congestion charge

To resolve the controversy is even bothered the Pope "During the visit of the Holy Father all the roads were closed to traffic. The transfer of a President Obama instead requested more flexible security measures, without the need to block the traffic. " For this reason, the entire presidential procession was liable to pay the congestion charge, applicable taxes, in central London to the most polluting cars.

The 10 pounds (11.6 €) for car will be charged the U.S. Embassy, which must already pay well against a 5.3 million pounds (6.1 million €) for non-compliance fines and during various occasions. This reluctance to pay is regulated by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, law dating from 1960 that makes it immune from fines diplomatic missions.

Those responsible for U.S. diplomacy have obviously declared its intention to comply with this code, thereby triggering the wrath of the mayor of London Boris Jonhson, which asks aloud the payment of the sum. Do not slip through the net of the bureaucracy nor the Beast, super-limousine used by Barack Obama and his wife nicknamed Beast for the rating of more than eight tons.
