"It has been 3 years since the Brexit referendum; I believe most of us in the EP were surprised by the result because they wanted a different one. But those who see Brussels as the punchbag for domestic conflicts, got the support. But not even three years since the referendum, the UK is not ready to take responsibility for Brexit or for giving up.
Negotiations were concluded, congratulations to Mr Barnier on the work he has done, the EU has established its positions. On the other side of the channel, completely different circumstances, political chaos and uncertainty prevails - in a country that has largely struck the foundations of the parliamentary system and democratic decision-making. In a country whose parliament has been suspended today.
Today it is difficult to discern what is a meaningful strategy and what is just a political bluff while running away from responsibility. One thing is for sure, whatever happens with Brexit, the result must not jeopardize the EU cohesion we have successfully achieved on this issue", said Picula in his speech on the plenary session.
