But London will do it only when the country will be headed by the new Prime Minister.
The process of a British exit from the European Union has already started and it will be brought to an end. This opinion was expressed on Sunday, July 10, the Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel in an interview with ZDF television.
“For me, the decision was made. The next step should be that the UK will submit a corresponding application. I assume that it will happen. Dealing with reality, quite firmly believe that this application will do,” she said.
However, London will do that only when the country will be headed by the new Prime Minister, I’m sure Merkel. But no negotiations on leaving the EU before that, she said, will not.
The Chancellor also denied that the victory of the opponents of Britain’s membership in the European Union in the referendum has led austerity policies in the EU, which holds the government in Berlin. In her opinion, the main factor of dissatisfaction of the British membership in the European Union was the right to free movement of citizens and labour. It is on the topic of migration, including within the EU, often emphasized in his campaign the supporters of Brexit.
