Nothing has changed. Again… And again. And again. Groundhog May does it again.
“Macron tend la main par dessus la Manche”
Posted in Statistics with tags Brexit, Emmanuel Macron, EU, Europe, European elections, European Union, The Guardian on March 6, 2019 by xi'an “Never since the second world war has Europe been so essential. Yet never has Europe been in such danger. Brexit stands as the symbol of that. It symbolises the crisis of a Europe that has failed to respond to its peoples’ need for protection from the major shocks of the modern world. It also symbolises the European trap. The trap lies not in being part of the European Union; the trap is in the lie and the irresponsibility that can destroy it. Who told the British people the truth about their post-Brexit future? Who spoke to them about losing access to the EU market? Who mentioned the risks to peace in Ireland of restoring the border? Retreating into nationalism offers nothing; it is rejection without an alternative. And this is the trap that threatens the whole of Europe: the anger mongers, backed by fake news, promise anything and everything.” Emmanuel Macron, The Guardian 5 March 2019
