Brexit, Cameron: welfare will skip

Pensions, healthcare, home. The British premier launches the counter-offensive in newspapers and TV and warns: if Brexit passes we will have a black hole of 20 to 40 billion in state accounts and welfare to be reviewed

Brexit, Cameron: welfare will skip

Exit from the EU could drag Great Britain into the tunnel of a "new austerity". This is the alarm raised by David Cameron who, a few days before the referendum, is trying to launch the latest attack on the pro-Brexit front, given far ahead in the polls. Ansa reports it. With no less than two interventions in today's newspapers and speaking on a BBC talk show, the prime minister tries to leverage the issues dearest to the British, such as the national health service, housing and pensions.

“Brexit will create a black hole of between £20 and £40 billion in our finances and so our ministers will have to review the reform of pensions“, warns Cameron in the Sunday Telegraph, threatening the risk of a “new austerity”. "If you vote 'Leave', many of our projects will fail," explains the premier. “We will have to renegotiate a treaty with the EU and it could take ten years and it would be ten years lost for Britain”. If you vote 'Remain', is Cameron's appeal, "you will have a stable country and certainty on your way". “I assure you that if we stay in the EU – promises the prime minister from the columns of the conservative newspaper – our country will have the financial resources to maintain benefits for pensioners. And we can move towards creating more jobs, more homes and more opportunities for your children and grandchildren”.
