Europe’s papers chew over the government’s defeat in parliament yesterday as well as the PM sending letters regarding another #Brexit extension. Italy’s Corriere della Sera believes “This unprecedented ‘game of two letters’ seriously embarrasses EU corriere.it/esteri/19_otto… /1
The paper says the EU “will have to decide whether to give Britain an extension that parliament is asking for but the British government does not want.” /2
Most European papers focus on how the vote in Parliament yesterday means the #Brexit process will go on even longer. Spain’s El Mundo describes it as “another unpredictable scenario of this labyrinth” elmundo.es/opinion/2019/1… /3
While France’s Le Figaro writes “It should have been a day of clarification; it has been a moment of additional confusion. British MPs have added an incredible episode to the already lengthy Brexit series. By deciding not to decide anything” lefigaro.fr/international/… /4
Austria’s Der Standard writes about the polarisation in UK society over #Brexit . Noting the police escorts for MPs, it says “The dark side of the Brexit debate appeared once again: polarisation and hatred for the opposite side” derstandard.at/story/20001100… /5 #bbcmonitoring
