Brexit: France refuses new extension | More pr …

One day before a new legislative vote that will be key to the British government, France added today to the tense climate of the United Kingdom and warned that He is not in favor of a further extension of the Brexit deadline, as demanded by the majority of the Parliament in London.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that "in the current state of affairs", his government does not support the approval of a new extension in the European Union (EU) in order to continue negotiations on a bloc exit in the UK with clear agreement.

"The British must tell us what they want, we will not do it instead", he added in an interview with CNews, quoted by the EFE news agency.

Drian did not limit himself to diplomatic expressions and stated that the British government was "deadlocked" because "In the British Parliament, there is no majority at all", nor for a Brexit without agreement nor for the call for early elections.

Tomorrow, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will vote again on the House of Commons motion to move the 2020 elections forward for next month.

Johnson's intention is to take advantage of the growing popularity of the latest polls and to obtain an absolute majority in the House, which will enable him on October 17 to meet with EU leaders in Brussels and to 'announce the type of Brexit that he decides, without the limits that Parliament wants to impose today. Under the law, the UK must leave the EU on October 31st.

However, last week, both Houses of the British Parliament pbaded a motion to ban the possibility of a Brexit without an agreement with the EU and to force the government to seek an extension in Brussels, s & # 39; 39, he does not reach an agreement before October 19th. two days after the EU summit and two days before the legal deadline to leave the EU. This motion should be promulgated by the Queen tomorrow Monday.

In this context, the British Prime Minister will try to find a special two-thirds majority of the deputies to advance the elections. However, for the moment, this does not seem to have convinced the opposition or the leader who rebelled, voted against and was immediately expelled from the Conservative Party.

As negotiations with the opposition continue, the ruling party crisis seems endless. Yesterday, the Minister of Labor and Pensions, Amber Rudd, resigned by refusing the expulsion of 21 Conservative MPs who voted against the government's motion, the government's second resignation in less than a week, after that of Prime Minister Jo Johnson's brother

Today, Boris Johnson has appointed a replacement for Rudd, Conservative MP Thérèse Coffey, a leader who had previously participated in the cabinet of former Prime Minister Theresa May, who had to resign after being forced by Parliament to approve its agreement on Brexit.
