Theresa May, on the Brexit: "We have to get out of the European Union with a deal, or just do not leave it"

UK Prime Minister Theresa May, He called for a pact between his conservative party and the Labor Party to make Brexit a reality and said the only option left for them is "to leave the European Union (EU) with an agreement, or simply not to not leave it. ", in a video broadcast Sunday a few days after the extension requested in Brussels.

The initial agreement negotiated in May and the EU he was rejected three times by Parliament, leaving his government on the verge of collapse, so the prime minister was forced to appeal to the leader of the labor opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, after failing to gain the support of the hardest wing of his own party.

"My preference was that this agreement be approved by Parliament in order to leave the EU on this basis, but the Parliament has rejected it three times and, for the moment, I do not see that. they accept it, "he added. said May in the video recorded at the official residence in Checkers. "The option we have left is to leave the European Union with an agreement, or simply not to leave it," he added.

This pact rejected by the House of Commons establishes new trade regime, movement of persons, security cooperation and borders between Ireland and Northern Ireland to try to reduce the negative effects of the exit and not to let the relationship between the United Kingdom and the bloc governed solely by international law.

A kind of middle point between being part of the EU and not having any special regime in the relationship (the "Hard Brexit"), which was not approved by the parliament and imposed a cross-border negotiation .

"There are many issues that I do not agree with the Labor Party on policy issues, but in Brexit, I think we have agreed on certain things. Put an end to free movement by ensuring that we leave with a good agreement, protecting jobs, protecting security ", noted May.

Afterwards, it became obvious that The initial date for the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, set for March 29, was not going to be filled accurately or the absence of agreement, London has agreed with Brussels an extension until 12 April. But the certain thing is that to respect the new limit, it will be specified this Friday, This seems almost impossible given the strong divisions within the parliament.

Of course, there remains the possibility to specify the exit of the EU without an agreement approved by the parliamentbut the option of "Brexit hard" (Brexit hard)) is an undesirable scenario for both the United Kingdom and the EU, because it will mean a period of chaos in the new relationship between the two.

On Wednesday, the May government has the opportunity to seek a second extension of the European Union, to bring the date of Brexit to May 22. But to obtain it, it is necessary to specify a pre-agreement that can be approved by Parliament in the coming weeks.

In his statement, May says that he intends to leave the EU "so as not to distort people's lives".

The truth is that the fact that the UK is separating from the European Union is the most important change in foreign and trade policy in Europe for more than 40 years and is undermined by uncertainty. Some British ministers even claimed that the process could never happen.
