UK May in Brussels, emphasized Brexit is decision of the people

Arriving at the EU summit in Brussels, UK Prime Minister Theresa May repeated that Brexit delay is a “matter of personal regret”. However, “a short extension would give parliament the time to make a final choice that delivers on the result of the referendum.” Also, she emphasized again: “What matters is that we recognise that Brexit is the decision of the British people. We need to deliver on that. We are nearly three years on from the original vote. It is now the time for parliament to decide.”

Earlier today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel echoed the unified message from EU official regarding Article 50 extensions. She said: “There was a request from Theresa May] to delay the exit date to June 30. The leaders of the EU27 will intensively discuss this request. In principle, we can meet this request if we have a positive vote in the British parliament next week about the exit document.
