The British Parliament has approved an amendment to force an extension of Brexit beyond October 31 . By 322 votes in favor and 306 votes against, the amendment presented by former conservative Oliver Letwin has temporarily thwarted Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plans to get Westminster approval of his agreement with Brussels.

Johnson could temporarily cancel the vote on his agreement until next week. Meanwhile, the 'premier' could be forced to send a letter to Brussels requesting the postponement of Brexit , in compliance with the amendment adopted by Parliament.

In his previous intervention in the Chamber, which held the special session on Saturday for the first time in 37 years, Boris Johnson anticipated that "there is very little appetite in the EU for a new extension of Brexit", and warned that the alternative to his agreement It is the dreaded "no deal" .
