That's enough to reinforce the confusion, already thick as the English fog, around the Brexit. According to a document produced this Friday by the defense of Boris Johnson to the Scottish Justice, the latter intends to ask Brussels a postponement of three months for lack of agreement, according to a law voted at the beginning of the month by the British deputies.
In a cry of the heart, Boris Johnson had exclaimed that he would rather die than ask for a postponement. Some time later, however, he contradicted himself by assuring that he would obey the law. Does this umpteenth rebound mean that the scenario of an exit without agreement is now excluded? Not so fast, was quick to reply Boris Johnson. And the resident of Downing Street to continue to hammer on his Twitter account that there would be no postponement.
To complete the confusion, his advisers said that respecting the law did not prevent them from finding " other ways " to avoid a delay. They even told the European Union what they had in mind, adding to raise the suspense they would reveal their master card " soon ".
What sleight of hand does the team of Boris Johnson reserve? A flaw in the law? A pact with a European member state to veto an extension? Or is this mysterious machination only bluffing? So many questions that are now in full breath all the audience of this saga.
