A large majority of the British sabotaged house of the Brexit Deal with the EU. German politicians try not to lose patience with London.
“Not enough”- this is the judgment of foreign Minister Heiko Maas about what happened on Tuesday evening in the British house of Commons. The deputies said the SPD politician on Wednesday in Germany radio, they would not have not made it clear what you want, only what you want. “This is not enough,” stressed the foreign Minister. “By the time the game is over now,” said Maas in the direction of the British government. Now, there is a need for quick solutions. Renegotiations of the submitted agreement with the EU, he can see, but critical. “We have a compromise,” said Maas. “If there is still something, what can you offer the UK would have, you would have to do this weeks ago.” A shift of the end of March planned EU-exit of the British Maas considers to be difficult, also given in may’s upcoming European elections.
No Renegotiations
Also Federal Minister of justice Katarina Barley (SPD) granted in renegotiations of the agreement, a clear rejection. Britain had to ensure stability, said the Newspapers of the Funke media group: “We support the UK on his way, but renegotiations of the agreement, it is not.”
“I’m keeping my British passport”: Katarina Barleys father is a British citizen
The SPD politician is personally affected by the events in London. Her father is a British citizen. “I am British since I was born, and I will remain,” announced you now.
In the evening, the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, a motion of censure, the Opposition has tabled a must. It is likely that you will survive this vote. Maas said, a potential fall Mays would make the situation even more complicated. For negotiations there is a need for a stable government in London. Which means after all: Maas considers that further negotiations for possible, if not at the exit agreement.
“An incredible battle of Opinions”
Still relatively optimistic expressed in the ZDF morning magazine, business Minister Peter Altmaier (CDU): “I am very impressed with this incredible battle of Opinions. There are still many who want to get out of the EU. But there are a very large number of Younger and Older who say: Let us the Best to throw away what we have.”
A heavy defeat for Theresa May – What happens now? Everything is open
Also, the Chairman of the foreign Affairs Committee, Norbert Röttgen of the CDU, he hinted that If the British wanted to actually vote again in a second Referendum on remaining in the EU would have to grant the European Union even more time.
Much more pessimistic, the top candidate of the FDP for the European election in may, Nicola Beer. She called for an EU special summit within 48 hours. “The situation in the UK and in the EU, after the defeat of Theresa May after the vote dramatically. The EU must immediately respond to it.” Beer continued to ensure that all pages can aspire to an orderly Brexit and then so close relations between the EU and the UK as possible, to develop.
Norway plus? Also unlikely
German media are speculating meanwhile on the model of the “Norway plus”. The UK would join the group of States, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland, which is intertwined by the customs Union with the EU. The Problem here is that Norway pays into the EU Budget, a solution that would also meet again with the violent resistance of the Brexit advocates in London.
