Johnson Urges to accelerate Brexit Negotiations with EU

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called today to accelerate negotiations to try to reach an agreement with the European Union (EU) before the United Kingdom left the block on October 31.

It is time for both parties to accelerate the pace. It is necessary to increase meetings and discussions if we want to have the opportunity to reach an agreement when we leave, without excuses or excuses, on October 31, the conservative ruler said.

He explained that British Brexit negotiators will meet with their European counterpart twice a week from September, in an attempt to reach a new pact before the EU summit scheduled for mid-October.

In this regard, the conservative ruler, who has held the position since last July, has made it clear that an eventual agreement goes through the renegotiation of the withdrawal treaty signed by his predecessor, Theresa May, and by the abolition of the safeguard introduced by the block for Protect the Irish border.

Johnson's call to accelerate the negotiations takes place in the midst of the political storm that caused his decision to suspend Parliament between September 9 and October 14, the day the Executive plans to announce a new legislative agenda.

Although the suspension of Parliament is a normal process within British constitutional canons, Johnson's announcement put more fuel on the political crisis in the United Kingdom as a result of Brexit.

For detractors of the conservative ruler, the decision to close the Palace of Westminster for 23 days has the sole objective of preventing deputies from trying to hinder the Prime Minister's plans to remove the country from the EU, with or without agreement.

The leader of the opposition Labor Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said, however, that there is still time to prevent an abrupt departure, so he urged parliamentarians to legislate in an accelerated manner, once the sessions are restarted next Tuesday.

We will try to stop him politically through a legislative process, said Corbyn, who said he has the support of the leaders of the main opposition parties.

Although he did not rule out promoting a vote of censure or distrust against the Government, the Labor politician declared that this option would be presented 'at the right time.'

The suspension of Parliament also unleashed a wave of protests in different British cities, while social media rains the accusations of 'tyrant' and 'dictator' against Johnson.

Meanwhile, an online petition against the closure of the legislative branch already accumulates more than one million 600 thousand signatures.

According to the rules, the Executive must respond to any popular complaint that exceeds 10 thousand rubrics, while the legislative power must submit it to debate when there are more than 100 thousand.
