  • Reactions: The president of the House of Commons calls out Boris Johnson's "constitutional outrage" maneuver

The British opposition has been on alert following Boris Johnson's decision on Wednesday to ask the queen to suspend the British Parliament until mid-October and has initiated, in various ways, her protests to try to stop the prime minister. More than 300,000 signatures are already accumulated on the official website of the agency to ask the Government not to go ahead with its plan, which must be debated and responded in less than a day since the camera returns on September 3 to have passed the 10,000 support threshold.

The decision announced today by the 'premier' has "further united the opposition parties," according to shadow attorney general Shami Chakrabarti , and there are already several political leaders, such as Jeremy Corbyn or Jo Swinson , who They have asked for a hearing with the queen to try to convince her not to grant her permission, which she ended up granting early in the afternoon after a meeting at her residence in Scotland. Even so, the Labor has confirmed that they will try to defeat him first in parliamentary headquarters and if not in court , where he has little doubt that they will be victorious.

Within the Parliament itself there have been several deputies from different parties who have asked people to take to the streets to demonstrate and Corbyn to resume the option of an alternative prime minister, which was ruled out at yesterday's meeting. Faced with these demands, the veteran Labor leader has left all options open: "We will do our best. We will join anyone in that regard . "

Along the same lines, others such as Labor Clive Lewis said it would have to be the police who threw them out of their seat: "If Boris Johnson suspends Parliament to move forward with his Brexit without agreement, both I and other deputies will defend our democracy. The police will have to take us out of the chamber . We will call on people to take the streets and call a special session of Parliament. "

In fact, on Twitter the group Another Europe is Possible began to organize a rally at the gates of parliament at 6:30 p.m. today to try to shield the building in a peaceful and symbolic way before the challenge of Boris Johnson, a concentration that It will also be replicated in different parts of the country.

For his part, the coordinator for the European Parliament Brexit, Guy Verhofstadt , issued a message on his social networks showing his solidarity with British parliamentarians: "The motto 'Take back control' was never so sinister. As a fellow parliamentarian I send my solidarity to all those who are fighting for their voices to be heard. Ending the debate on important matters will not help to develop a stable future between the European Union and the United Kingdom. "

Critics have also rained. Former Prime Minister John Major assured the BBC that he will seek legal advice to try to confront this plan: "I have no doubt that what the 'premier' is looking for with this is a suspension that allows him to bypass the parliamentary sovereignty that opposes to their policies. As events unfold, I will seek legal advice on this issue. " In June, Major said he did not imagine "Disraeli, Gladstone, Churchill or Thatcher in their most difficult moments saying come, let's put aside Parliament while carrying out this very difficult policy with which part of my party disagrees ".
