The EU finally agrees to delay the “brexit” until next January 31

The Ambassadors of the Twenty-seven made the decision to delay Brexit during a new meeting, after Friday they failed to unanimously agree on the duration of the new extension.

The countries that will remain in the European Union (EU) after the “brexit” on Monday agreed to delay until January 31, 2020 the departure of the United Kingdom from the community club, as requested by the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

The ambassadors of the Twenty-seven made the decision during a new meeting, after Friday they failed to unanimously agree on the duration of the new extension.

“The Twenty-seven have agreed that they will accept the request of the United Kingdom for a flexible extension until January 31, 2020,” wrote the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, on his Twitter profile.

Community sources said that among the diplomats there was “total agreement” on the “need for an extension” and added that the ambassadors also agreed to make the decision on the new delay of “brexit” unanimously and in a consensual way among all the countries that they will remain in the community club after leaving the United Kingdom.

The Twenty-seven did not find it inconvenient either for the decision on the extension to be adopted without holding an extraordinary summit of leaders and community sources stressed that the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, does not intend to convene a new meeting of heads of state and EU government to approve a new extension of “brexit”.
