Tusk and Johnson in Blame Game
Blame Game on the Brexit: EU Council President Donald Tusk rejects vague British ideas on the controversial backstop for Ireland – and passes the Black Peter on to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
In a letter to Tusk, Johnson had suggested replacing the backstop rules agreed with his predecessor Theresa May with an obligation to introduce “alternative solutions” as soon as possible during a transitional period.
But Tusk cannot warm up to this transitional solution. On the contrary: In a tweet he rejects the proposal brusquely and claims that those who reject the backstop and offer no alternatives want the reintroduction of a hard border in Ireland.
Tusk is thus passing the buck to the British Prime Minister. However, the EU president is concealing an important detail: a hard Brexit would not force the UK to introduce border controls, but the EU member Ireland.
Then the protection of the internal market will have priority…

OFFTOPIC:
Nur mal zeigen was ein land drauf hat, dem wir Entwicklungshilfe überweisen:

Die bauen übrigens Autobahnbrücken aus Glas. Warum? Weil Glas ein “geiler” Werkstoff ist und weil die das (im Gegensatz zu uns) können.
Kann sich ja jeder mal überlegen wie weit wir “hinten” liegen im direkten Vergleich …
