French President Emmanuel Macron vows to block any Brexit delay without a 'clear objective' | PoliticsHome.com

Speaking at a press conference alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris, Mr Macron warned Theresa May that France would use its veto power to prevent any extension to Article 50.

Any request from the Prime Minister to delay Brexit past 29 March would require the unanimous agreement of all 27 EU member states.

“We would support an extension request only if it was justified by a new choice of the British," he told reporters. “But we would in no way accept an extension without a clear objective."

What a huge comfort it must be to Angela to know that she has the full support of the French President behind her.



As Patton once (allegedly) said "I'd sooner have a German Army in front of me than a French one behind me!"

No. He might have taken against that person, but he wouldn't have mocked an Allied nation like that. There but for the grace of God etc.
