The DUP, a Protestant party in Northern Ireland, criticized the draft Treaty on the British exit from the European Union. The Brexit deal proposed by British Prime Minister Theresa May could lead to the collapse of the UK, DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson told BBC Radio on Wednesday. This was nothing that could support the party. Sammy Wilson, leader of the DUP on Twitter, said on Twitter that the party would not vote for this "humiliation".
The London government has yet to accept the agreement reached with the European Union after a long and fierce fight on Tuesday night. The British Cabinet is scheduled to meet at 15:00 CET to discuss the draft exit agreement. May also depend on the approval of the DUP. DUP Vice President Nigel Dodds also expressed skepticism at the agreement. However, the party will first study the text of the deal before making a decision, Dodds said Tuesday night.
If the UK cabinet agrees, a European summit on the Brexit agreement could possibly be held in Brussels next weekend, November 25, the Council said in Brussels.
Argument Northern Ireland
According to EU officials, the text of the treaty will include a safeguard clause intended to prevent the return of controls at the border between Ireland's EU Council member and Ireland North as a result of Brexit. This project would keep Britain, as well as Northern Ireland, temporarily in a customs union with the EU – and Northern Ireland in the EU single market. . Until now, the issue is the biggest bone of contention in the negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU at the end of March 2019. The EU and the EU Ireland certainly do not want to allow a hard border with Northern Ireland, a country long marked by political violence.
