On October 17, Boris Johnson and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced that the parties had reached an agreement on Brexit.
On October 19, the British Parliament refused to consider the agreement. The deputies decided that first it was necessary to adopt the legislation necessary to exit the European Union, and then put to the vote a draft transaction with Brussels.
After this, Johnson, obeying the law, asked the EU for a new postponement (the European Union decided to support it), but assured Parliament that he would submit all the necessary documents for the deputies to approve the deal with Brussels until October 31.
Today, on October 22, the House of Commons, the lower house of the British Parliament, has approved a bill proposed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to implement Brexit.
At the same time, the deputies rejected Johnson’s proposal to ratify the Brexit agreement in three days, which the prime minister concluded with the EU. This means that the ratification process will be delayed, and the UK may not have time to leave the EU on October 31, as Johnson wants.
Before the vote, the British prime minister said that if parliament does not approve his plan to leave the EU and does not agree to accept it in three days, he will withdraw the agreement and will seek new parliamentary elections.
