Original title: Johnson and the EU reached a new agreement on brexit to complete the 'impossible task'?
According to the guardian, on October 17 local time, European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker and British Prime Minister Boris & middot; Johnson announced that they had reached a new agreement on Britain's "brexit".
Johnson said on twitter that the UK and the EU have reached a "great new agreement", which will enable the UK to "take back control". Johnson also said that parliament should complete brexit on Saturday so that the government can focus on other issues, such as the cost of living, health care, violent crime and so on.
Juncker said, 'as long as we have the will, we can reach an agreement -- we have reached it!' He said that this is a 'fair and balanced agreement', and suggested that the upcoming EU summit adopt this agreement.
Johnson and Junker.
On the controversial backup agreement for Northern Ireland, Johnson said that he had "abandoned" this "anti democratic backup agreement". The people of Northern Ireland can control their own laws and have the right to end some special arrangements.
Voices of all parties
Johnson looked excited, but his ally, the Democratic United Party of Northern Ireland, soon poured cold water on him.
The first timetable of the Northern Ireland democratic Unity Party said that its position had not changed. The Northern Ireland democratic Unity Party issued a statement on the morning of the 17th, saying that it had been negotiating with the government, but could not agree with the government's position on the issue of customs tariffs. They would continue to negotiate with the government and finally reach an agreement that could protect the economy and safeguard the integrity of the British constitution.
The opposition Labor Party also said that it would not support Johnson's agreement. Jeremy & middot, head of the Labor Party; Corbin even called his agreement bitreza & middot; May's agreement is even worse -- before that, Teresa & middot; Mei's agreement was rejected by Parliament three times and was eventually forced to step down early.
Corbin said: 'these proposals are likely to trigger a competition for rights and protection. Putting food safety at risk; Reduction of environmental standards and workers' rights; And open our national health service to the acquisition of American private enterprises', 'this transaction will not unite the whole country and should be rejected. The best way to solve brexit is to give the people the final say through a referendum. " The implication is that Corbin hopes to hold a second referendum on brexit.
In fact, Johnson was happy a little early. The agreement still needs to be approved by the European Parliament and the British Parliament. At present, many parties have expressed opposition to the agreement. The guardian said Saturday would be crucial. If the agreement could not be passed through Parliament, Johnson would need to write to the EU to seek an extension of brexit in accordance with the previously passed law.
Expert opinion
Zhao Junjie, a researcher at the European Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Beijing news that at the last node, the EU and the UK reached an agreement, which is good news for both sides. For British Prime Minister Johnson, this is a highlight of his personal political performance. In fact, Theresa & middot; May paved the road in the early stage, and Johnson was the last to 'pick the fruit'. For the EU, Juncker's solution to the problem of brexit before leaving office will not leave regret or even be criticized by the outside world. The UK and the EU have reached an agreement to form a 'consensus politics', and a large structure has been established. Let's look at the details.
Zhao Junjie said that the next "brexit" agreement to pass the British Parliament may encounter resistance, and his attitude is "cautious optimism". After such a long period of "brexit" seesaw war, the British opposition will also make rational thinking and finally consider focusing on national interests rather than blindly entanglement. The deadline for "brexit" is coming on October 31, and there are two possible outcomes: first, the "brexit" agreement was passed in parliament, and Britain had an agreement on "brexit" at the end of October; Second, the date of "brexit" will be postponed for a short time, such as half a month, leaving time to deal with the details of the agreement. It can be said that after the EU and the UK reached an agreement, the possibility of Britain's "non agreement brexit" has decreased significantly.
