Chaos is never ending | Brexit shift until June 30

Theresa May has requested a further postponement of the Brexit appointment on Friday until June 30. However, if an agreement is ratified earlier, the deadline should end sooner, May wrote in a letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk.

"The government wants to agree on a roadmap for ratification, which will allow the UK to leave the European Union before 23 May 2019, thereby annulling the European elections (for Britain, note)," May said but "making responsible preparations" for holding the EU election, should this not be possible. "It's frustrating that we have not completed this process successfully and orderly," May wrote.

Meanwhile, Tusk pleads for a shift of Brexit by twelve months. He wanted to propose that to the 27 remaining EU countries, confirmed EU officials in Brussels. A Brexit special summit is planned for next Wednesday in Brussels, during which the other EU member states would have to unanimously agree to an extension. If there is no solution by then, Britain will leave the EU unregulated on 12 April with far-reaching negative consequences.

Already Friday morning, the BBC and other media had reported with reference to EU sources that Tusk wants to propose a flexible extension of the Brexit period to twelve months.

May says after a cabinet meeting, talks with the opposition Labor Party are needed to find a solution. The Tory boss summoned the opposition to an agreement. Now it's about working out a compromise. The joint plan should then be presented to the other EU states next week. However, he must move within the framework of the previous exit agreement with the EU. The extension should be "as short as possible".

A reaction of the opposition Labor Party was initially not available. The EU would have to agree to an extension, which could then run until 22 May. Without such an agreement, Britain will leave the international community on 12 April. For April 10, an EU summit is scheduled.
