Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair believes Britain may still remain in the EU, despite the “Brexit” decision. He said it probably now “Brexit” It is very important, he said, not to happen, since recently it is clear that leaving the EU harms Britain economically and politically.
Blair, who is a strong supporter of Britain's EU stance, said European leaders are willing to compromise for free movement of people as a way to avoid Britain's departure from the bloc.
The former prime minister believes the option for overturning “Brexit” should be on the table, CRI writes. Tony Blair's article is published at the time of the announcement of recent public opinone polling data, where 70% of Britons would support free movement if it were to be reformed, under which EU citizens would not automatically enjoy the right to settle in an EU country without previously having a job bid and if there were stronger controls for benefits and social aid. The same is confirmed by German and French voters.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron launched the “Brexit” referendum as a way of putting pressure on European leaders to become more severe on immigration policies after increasing complaints in the United Kingdom that migrants from Eastern Europe are robbing local jobs.
