London (AP) – British Prime Minister sought on Friday to put pressure on lawmakers to approve the agreement she reached with the European Union, warning that otherwise great Br Etana could not consummate their separation. In their attempt to avoid a second defeat of their agreement, Theresa May also implored the EU to help it to provide “a final push” to the agreement in a sceptical Parliament. Lawmakers expected to vote Tuesday on an agreement rejected by an overwhelming majority in January for the second time. If they reject it again, will have to vote on an output without agreement _que also probably will be rechazada_ or ask the EU to postpone the date of departure scheduled on March 29.
“Back it up and the United Kingdom will come out of the European Union,” said May. “Reject it and nobody knows what will happen”, said May in a speech to workers in Grimsby, a town in the North of England who voted by a large majority in favour of the Brexit.
The EU is not willing to renegotiate the agreement of 585 pages and last-minute negotiations are have bogged down, fact that the block leaders attributed the lack of concrete proposals from Londres.Sin however, the EU presented an offer Friday with the hope to unlock the negotiations. Its Chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said that the EU was prepared to offer “a legally binding interpretation” of the agreement by means of an additional statement instead of a renegotiation. “Barnier Tweet that the block will ensure that Britain”will not be forced to remain in a customs union against its will”.” The EU will continue to work intensively in the coming days to ensure that the United Kingdom leaves the EU with an agreement”, he added. It was not clear whether the offer would help May get enough in the Parliament support for its agreement on Tuesday.
The Labour opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said that the speech of May seemed to be a “sign of desperation”.
