During the next week, the global investors will find out whether the leaders of the European Union will agree to the Brexit proposal presented by the United Kingdom. There are rumors in the financial press that if the plan is rejected, the parliament will want to dismiss Theresa May. A group of over 50 parliamentarians, mainly from the Conservative Party, wants to end the term of the Prime Minister. The other rumors say, that the government is currently working on moving away from "soft Brexit" towards a more radical exit. This is to be May's way of avoiding a political catastrophe.
Juncker announced that the European Union is going to keep a firm stance on the conditions for the departure of Great Britain. In his opinion, the British negotiators should not expect a softening of demands. On the other hand, he assured, however, that the Union will be open to close cooperation with the UK after Brexit. However, the issue of the Irish border remains disputable.
