Boris Johnson has taken advantage of his first official trip as prime minister to Ireland to print a conciliatory turn in his stance towards Brexit and ensure that he "overwhelmingly" prefers to leave the EU with an agreement before October 18 .

"A lack of agreement will be a failure that we will all be responsible for," Johnson said to Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar , to whom he reiterated his willingness to complete Brexit in any case on October 31 . Johnson got up early to travel to Dublin, hours before his new attempt to force early elections in Parliament, which will be predictably rejected by opposition parties on Monday afternoon.

With hardly any options after his parliamentary defeats last week, reluctant to seek an approach to Varadkar so far, Johnson decided to cross the Irish sea in search of a lifeguard in the middle of the storm caused by himself with the repeated threat of Leave the EU without an agreement .

Keep the border open

Johnson stressed his commitment to keep the "border open", but acknowledged that the meeting with Varadkar has not served so far to find the "step forward" to the controversial "safeguard" to avoid returning to the hard border in Ireland, recently denounced by the "premier" himself as "undemocratic" (although he avoided using this word as he passed through Dublin).

"Can we have an open border through the movement of people, merchandise and even livestock?" He asked as a conservative leader. "Can we respect the principles of the Good Friday Peace Agreement? Can we maintain economic unity on the island of Ireland? The answer in all three cases is yes, but we also have to respect the will of the British to leave the EU and recognize that the negotiations have lasted too long. "

Varadkar stressed on his part that London's refusal to accept the "safeguard", as an insurance policy to ensure that the open border between the two Irlandas , remains the main stumbling block. "Without" safeguard "there is no agreement," reiterated the Irish Prime Minister, who said that Brussels will need "a good reason" to grant the United Kingdom a new extension of the EU's exit, as it intends to force the opposition into the law to veto the extreme Brexit that Monday will foreseeably enter into force.
