Theresa May hinted that she could call a general election after the third rejection of her agreement on Brexit

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, launched a veiled threat to dissolve Parliament and call general elections, after politicians rejected their agreement for brexit for the third time.

"I fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this House," said May in the House of Representatives after her agreement was rejected by 344 votes to 286 on Friday.

"This House rejected an exit without agreement"he said. "He rejected the absence of brexit, Wednesday, he rejected all the amendments to the agreement on the table and today, he refused to approve the agreement of retirement alone and to continue a process in the future. "

May already said that an election is the last thing the country wants. His spokesman did not go that far on Friday and only insisted that a national vote is not the best for Britain.

But not because May and her team prefer to avoid a general election, they can reject it.

The next step is that the government expect members of Parliament to establish their own preferences in a series of votes on plan B options on Monday.

From there, a plan could be developed for Brexit that Parliament supports. Then the government will seek to negotiate the next step with the EU in negotiations that must begin before April 12.

The Berlin warning

In this context where the definitions are accelerated, the German government has urged the UK to make the decisions that are needed to avoid a difficult "brexit" and warned that it had to happen before April 12.

"Nobody will understand that two years after the decision favoring" brexit ", no agreement has been reached for an orderly exit"Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also argues that Germany and the whole of the European Union (EU) "are well prepared" face a hard "brexit" and protect citizens from its consequences, if any.

"Time is counted. The British must make a decision on what to do before April 12 "Maas insists.

The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk announced immediately after the vote an extraordinary summit of European leaders on April 10.
