The usually progressive Dutch satire @zondagmetlubach takes nationalist tour on #Eurobonds. Presents us vs them rhetoric, portraying 🇳🇱 as virtuous unified whole. Singles out Italy and Italian Eurosceptic populists as culprits. #zml

Getting Member States involved in #Brexit negotiations will not help the #UK. It will most likely fuel domestic politicization of Brexit in #EU27 countries. This will be detrimental to UK interests.
