April planned EU special summit, there had to be clarity on further action in the UK in the Brexit crisis. “A second Referendum as well as elections could be quickly organized, could provide the necessary clarity,” said Weber.

A Unger outlet apply prevent great Britain from the EU would have to grant the EU London, a further extension of the Brexit period. “If an extension is to win without a goal time, then both sides will only waste capacity,” warned Weber.
