Macron called shock the exit of Britain from the EU

“This departure is a shock, an unprecedented alarm that should be heard all over the world and which should make us think. For the first time in 70 years, the country is leaving the European Union, ”he said during the appeal.

According to him, the Brexit campaign was woven from "lies and manipulations" and the EU should "learn from it."

“More than ever, we need Europe ... We must make it more sovereign, more democratic,” Macron said.

Britain at 23:00 on January 31 (2:00 Moscow time on February 1) leaves the European Union. After this, a transitional period will begin, during which London and Brussels will discuss the new status of their relationship.
