Theresa May asked the European Union to change the Brexit agreement but France had already warned that "this agreement is not renegotiable"

In its attempt to overcome the stagnation around Brexit, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced Tuesday that she would ask the European Union to change the separation agreement modification of the protection at the Irish border, which many British legislators oppose.

Quickly, the first reaction arrived. "The agreement on Brexit is the best possible and is not renegotiable"said French President Emmanuel Macron.

European leaders had already ruled out any changes to the Brexit pact, but However, May implored Parliament to give him a mandate by supporting a motion at the border authorizing the application of "unspecified" alternative arrangements.

"Today we have the opportunity to show the European Union what it takes to make a difference. an agreement is approved by the House of Commons; What is needed to overcome this confusion, this division, this uncertainty that invades us, "May told parliamentarians.

House of Commons to vote Tuesday on two parallel proposals on Brexit: one formulated by the sector in favor of divorce and one by the sector against. Both have been developed since Parliament rejected the May version of this agreement two weeks ago. Britain was then aiming to leave the block without a deal on March 29.

The incumbent of the House of Commons, John Bercow has selected seven motions to be put to the voteamong them, the border measure presented by May and other statements that would try to avoid a Brexit without an agreement.

However, in full political crisis in London and only two months for Brexit, the EU does not seem to have the will to amend the pact with May of last year.

May, who planned to call the European leaders said Tuesday that their agreement could still receive the necessary support in Parliament if the clause at the Irish border was changed. According to the safeguard measure, the United Kingdom would remain in a customs union with the EU in order to eliminate the need for inspections at the border between Northern Ireland (belonging to the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom). Kingdom) and Ireland (which belongs to the EU) after Brexit.

This border will be crucial in the agreement as it will be the only land link between the UK and the EU after Brexit.and because the free movement of people and goods is a pillar of the local economy and the peace process in Northern Ireland.

May approved the call of a Conservative MP to create "alternative arrangements" for the Irish border, and He asked all the legislators of his conservative party to support it.
