Alexander Gauland, July 26, 2019, Brexit

Boris Johnson has made clear that the Brexit treaty in its present form is unacceptable to the British. The EU must therefore finally jump over its shadow and do what it always promises: bring people together. It should go to the British and at least re-negotiate the rules for Northern Ireland and so make possible for Great Britain an orderly and dignified exit.

No one can have an interest in Brexit resulting in chaos, with the British leaving the EU in enmity. Great Britain is too important to Europe for that. Brussels must finally accept that a majority of the British in a referendum have declared themselves for an exit. Should the responsible EU politicians not give up their blockade and deny London new negotiations, then is formed the impression that a disorderly Brexit will be allowed so as to terrify other states from also leaving the EU.
