British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has grudgingly accepted a three-month delay to the U.K.’s departure from the European Union, but stressed that he’s doing it against his will and urged the EU to grant no more delays.
The EU agreed Monday to delay Britain’s departure by three months, averting for the now the prospect of Britain falling out of the bloc i a chaotic no-deal Brexit. Holger Bingmann, the head of Germany’s BGA association, said it was the right decision but “it is high time that we conclude this issue.”
Guy Verhofstadt, head of the European Parliament’s Brexit Steering Group, wrote on Twitter that “whether the U.K.’s democratic choice is revoke or an orderly withdraw, confirmed or not in a second referendum, the uncertainty of Brexit has gone on for far too long. This extra time must deliver a way forward.”
Johnson grudgingly asked for the delay on the orders of Parliament. He has said for months that the U.K. will leave the EU on Oct. 31 “come what may” — with a Brexit deal or without one. Donald Tusk said on Twitter “the EU 27 has agreed that it will accept the UK’s request for a Brexit flextension . The decision is expected to be formalized through a written procedure.”
