DISINFO: European Union will collapse soon
SUMMARY
Britain will simply leave for free floating, leaving the European Union.The Brexit story dragged on, because the Euro-optimists did not want to completely sever ties with one of the leading European powers. After all, this can be a very dangerous precedent. The story of Brexit is indeed very undesirable for Brussels. Certain Western experts, political analysts predict the imminent collapse of the European Union.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the EU collapse. Similar cases are here, here, and here. In reaction to the June 23rd 2016 referendum on leaving the EU, President Tusk, President Juncker, President Schulz and Netherlands Prime Minister Rutte made a joint statement: "In a free and democratic process, the British people have expressed their wish to leave the European Union. We regret this decision but respect it." Furthermore, the heads of state of the remaining 27 EU countries, stated “We are determined to remain united and work in the framework of the EU to deal with the challenges of the 21st century and find solutions in the interest of our nations and peoples," after the informal meeting on 29th of June 2016. Support for the EU, as shown in the latest Eurobarometer poll, remains at historically high levels.
