The deadline of 31 October approaches and chaos around the Brexit it shows no signs of decreasing. In London, the opposition threatens to bring Boris Johnson in court over the second letter the prime minister sent to Europe over the weekend. In that document, signed, the number one of Downing Street he asks the other 27 EU members to ignore the first letter he himself had to send to Brussels. That is the request, unsigned, to postpone the date of Great Britain's exit from the EU again, this time from 31 October to 31 January 2020. A request that Johnson was forced to submit in order not to break the anti-no deal law (approved a few weeks ago), not having found a definitive agreement with Europe by Saturday. The head of the British government tried to circumvent the same law by writing a second letter, in which he defines the new extension as "a mistake".
Meanwhile, today Johnson to try once again to get Commons green light to Brexit deal by October 31st signed with Brussels, which essentially keeps Northern Ireland in the single European market by moving the border between the EU and the UK to the Irish Sea. According to Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, there is a majority. For sure, the Prime Minister will try to bring home the result until the last second of October 31st.
As? It's still not clear. He could ask for a vote on the principles of the agreement – assuming that the speaker of the House allows it – and then the next day present the law. Alternatively, he could opt for a quick approval of the latter and then come to a vote on his agreement. The only certainty is that by now Johnson goes all out. Also because, after having repeated for months that Brexit would no longer be postponed, if Great Britain were still a member of the Union on November XNUMXst, the prime minister would probably be forced to resign.
Meanwhile, from Brussels they take time, but the president of the European Council Tusk has nonetheless begun to consult the leaders of the countries of the Union to understand what the prevailing position is on the latest developments in the Brexit dossier.
