by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 25 August 2019 Boris Johnson would like to close the British Parliament for at least five weeks in order to prevent it from deciding on an extension of the Brexit.

This is what was revealed by The Observer, the magazine of The Guardian. The British prime minister has asked the Justice Minister, Geoffrey Cox, for legal advice through an email written in the last ten days, to assess whether it is possible to close Westminster until October 31st to avoid Brexit delays and an extension of the EU exit .

The e-mail was read by The Observer who spread the news while it was immediately denied by Downing Street.

In response, government consultants have shown themselves to be possibilists about the possibility that the British Parliament can meet only on 9 September, returning from holiday, and to close the next day until 31 October unless the anti-Brexit front applies to the court against a measure such.

From Biarritz in France, meanwhile, Johnson, engaged in the G7, considers a new understanding between Great Britain and the European Union to be as real as possible for an output as painless as possible.

"Let us be clear, I think that at the moment there is a reasonable chance that we will have an agreement," said Johnson, saying he was "optimistic", but he continued, "if we go out without an agreement, it is certainly true that the 39 billion pounds they are no longer, strictly speaking, due. There will be very substantial sums available for our country to spend on our priorities. It is not a threat. exit London is not legally obliged to pay off the entire sum of the debt.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson has won the support of Donald Trump on Brexit. "The right man for Brexit", as the president of the United States called him in Biarritz.
