Brexit's glorious hour

Three years ago, with the referendum of June 23, 2016, the British people decided with a percentage of almost 52% and with a participation of 71.8% the exit of Great Britain from the European Union. This great result was undoubtedly the first big and painful defeat for the German-controlled European Union of banks and multinationals.

However, the departure of Great Britain from the European Union, which was scheduled for March 29, 2019, since exactly two years earlier Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon was activated, which allows member states to leave the Union, ultimately this did not happen due to the lack of agreement with the Brussels establishment. And no agreement was reached because of the arrogant intransigence of the Brussels conclave, which tries with abundant arrogance to humiliate Great Britain and therefore use it as a scarecrow for other countries that want to escape the German prison of the European Union.

According to statements by the new Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Brexit will definitely take place on October 31, 2019, with or without a deal. And that's because an uneven Brexit is preferable to a bad deal that will obviously work against Britain and the British people. At the same time, this Exit Act, which will free Great Britain from the shackles of the European Union, shows, on the one hand, full respect for the will of the British people, and, on the other, comes into conflict with those who try in various ways to delay or even cancel the proud Brexit.

It is more than certain that Brexit will not bring the end of the world for Great Britain, as this did not happen when it chose to stay out of the eurozone. And, as eminent experts say, the British economy after a short troubled period will be significantly strengthened from a competitive point of view. There is therefore no doubt for any astute observer and analyst that, in the medium to long term, Britain, which will fully regain the ability to pursue national policies in all areas, will prosper out of an undemocratic and highly bureaucratic blueprint in the in which Germany plays a dominant role.

However, supporters of Great Britain remaining in the European Union essentially want the will of the British people to be annulled and the referendum thrown in the bin, the result of which did not cause any immediate economic crisis, as they warned. So they are constantly sowing terror, assuring that the consequences of no-deal Brexit will be nightmarish and chaotic, far worse than Adolf Hitler's bombs. So they're talking about developments and events that will threaten the very unity of the country, huge deficits in food, medicine and fuel that will lead Britons to rush like crazy to supermarkets, petrol stations and pharmacies, "blackout" in ports and airports in the country, destruction of British companies, decisive blows to exports and the financial sector, particularly negative impacts on the tourism industry that will transform the travel plans of millions of people into a nightmare of many delays, cancellations and bureaucracies, etc.

But all this logically will not be the case, because the government responsible for Boris Johnson for the future of the British economy and the British people, I believe will take the appropriate measures with prudent and decisive actions, working out a well-coordinated exit plan which will minimize the effects Brexit negatives. This is also confirmed by the statements made on August 1, 2019 by the Minister of Finance of Great Britain Sajid Javid: "Our economy is fundamentally strong, so today we can make many choices. We can choose to invest in our schools and hospitals, in our fantastic police, for example, but we can also prepare to leave the EU. And if that means leaving without a deal, that's exactly what we're going to do."

At the same time, Brexit will not only have negative impacts on Great Britain, but also on the European Union. Brexit undoubtedly threatens the unity of the union and creates an example of secession that other countries are likely to follow in the future (Domino Effect), while the lack of financial contribution from Great Britain (about ten billion annually) will significantly affect the budget of the community. At the same time, Britain's main trading partners (Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Belgium) will be significantly affected, while the European Union as a whole will no longer have the largest share of world GDP and will not be the largest. trading power internationally, giving its position in the US and China.

The blow to the European Union by Brexit, and indeed no-deal, and given the US solidarity that goes with it and translates into a major UK-US bilateral privileged trade deal, is far more than crucial and can be fatal for the European Union and the Euro Zone, at a time when it is going through a prolonged economic and political crisis, which has been increasing lately.

Therefore, in the face of increasing power competition between world powers (US, China, Russia, EU), it is more than obvious that the Donald Trump administration and the US deep state decided to restrict German influence in the West Countryside area and decisively prevent the application of German wills in the European space.

Today's vision against the rotten, totalitarian and highly neoliberal German European Union, which is the most failed experiment in economic and political unity between different nation-states in history, can only be equal cooperation between free European peoples and sovereign independent democratic countries from one end of Europe to the other.

Finally, I would like to emphatically note that any short-term negative effects of Brexit can by no means represent an insurmountable obstacle to the will of the British people, who have been trained for many centuries in democratic traditions and in the precepts of freedom and independence. , to free his country from the iron shackles of the European Union. Those who, moreover, are happy with the parliamentary obstacles and difficulties that lie ahead of the proud Brexit or are asking for a second referendum to emerge what they want, that is, to blackmail democracy, need to know that the final winner will be the people sovereign and the decision they took three years ago.
