- Encuentro.Juncker, to Johnson: "Europe never loses patience"
The president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker has admitted for the first time that it is possible to reach an agreement on Brexit before October 31st . Speaking to Sky News, Juncker lends a hand to "premier" Boris Johnson and says he is willing to give up the "safeguard" to avoid returning to the hard border between the two Irlandas if the "alternative mechanisms" proposed by London achieve The same goal.
"I don't have an erotic relationship with the safeguard," said Juncker, who received a detailed proposal from Johnson for a new deal on Wednesday, including a special status for Northern Ireland , which would remain temporarily aligned with the single market. The leader of the Unionist Democratic Party, Arlene Foster, opened the spigot and said she was ready for a "solution only for Northern Ireland", as long as it does not jeopardize the territorial unity of the United Kingdom.
Juncker's announcement came a few hours after Boris Johnson’s legal battle before the Supreme Court on account of Parliament’s closing. The "premier" threatens to maintain the "lock" even if the highest court stipulates that his decision to cancel the sessions until October 14 is "illegal."
The Supreme Court will rule early next week and the ruling may cause an unprecedented constitutional crisis. The president of the House of Commons, John Bercow, could convene Parliament in the event the suspension was declared illegal. But Johnson could reorder a new "extension" in use of his executive powers .
