Europe is on vacation and convulsed. Repeated and serious terrorist attacks in several countries do nothing but deepen concern about the problem of immigration. If this was perhaps the most important outcome of the British referendum, which determined the output of the United Kingdom (UK) European Union (EU) why what happened the following month seems to confirm the fears and rejection of immigrants, particularly from the Middle East.
the political crisis provoked by the Brexit, which forced the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron unexpectedly resolved quickly. The party had to make in September, internal elections to choose a successor to resigning, so the announcement that the resignation would take effect only in October. But it happened that potential candidates resigned and was only career until then Interior Minister Theresa May, who in a few hours became prime minister. May appointed in Foreign Boris Johnson, who had led the campaign for the exit.
concretized the electoral decision to give the EU a traumatic situation portended, since from the Union is pressing for an immediate output Britain; there were strong expressions of the leaders in this regard, while the British seemed to reign in bewilderment. Past few weeks, and under the impact of numerous attacks and dead, tempers have calmed and the output is no longer seen as an abrupt break. He may traveled Germany where he held an important meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders of the Community. It was agreed to give some time to the UK to prepare an orderly exit, in complex and unprecedented situation.
In this way the British Government has said that the formal communication of output required by Article 50 of the Covenant Lisbon, will not be made before the end of this year. From there will be a period of two years to realize the effective output. There is also no certainty that this procedure be used or other roads are.
Meanwhile seems to extend a strong resurgence of populist nationalism and in many, there are fears whether heading to the disintegration of the Union . This does not seem to find an efficient policy to manage the complex and serious problem of immigration. And nationalist movements are becoming stronger and clear outbreaks of xenophobia observed. Some objections to the functioning of EU appear well founded.
They see it as very undemocratic organization, away from ordinary citizens, managed by a golden bureaucracy, one of many elites who today reject citizens. There is consensus that the EU needs reform in the countries that generate interest to stay and not leave. The EU is a remarkable case of a political construction that in sixty years gave peace and progress to countries that had been destroyed in two world wars. It would be unfortunate that this creation collapsed; nobody would win it.
From across the UK, concern for the future is great and there are few who have repented to vote for the Brexit or for not going to vote. The new prime minister raises hopes and concerns. Some of their ideas are striking. For example, he argues that “the world of big business must change.” It proposes measures such as employee participation in company boards; annual binding shareholder vote on executive pay; consumer representation on the boards; . Restrictions on predatory acquisitions
On the future is almost apocalyptic predictions, such as M. Vargas which provides a slow decline and a possible disintegration of the Kingdom; while, on the other hand, some economists say GB, which supports free trade and the functioning of markets, end up gaining the medium term.
