Großbritannien: Cameron warnt Burnham vor Wiedereintritt in die EU
Der Ex-Premier David Cameron, der das Brexit-Referendum angestoßen hatte, rät Premier Andy Burnham davon ab, einen Rückzieher vom Brexit anzustreben. Das schwäche die Verhandlungsposition.
London - Former British Prime Minister David Cameron has cautioned Andy Burnham, the former British Prime Minister, against seeking a return to the EU. Cameron argued that such a move would undermine talks about closer ties. This came amid Cameron's push for continued British membership during the 2016 referendum. In an interview with Bloomberg, Cameron stated that in 2011, he had "deeply regretted" the UK's vote to leave the EU.
However, he cautioned against reversing the voters' decision ten years later. "Instead of triggering a debate on re-entry, which I believe would be very long, painful, and no one knows where it leads, we should focus on how we can be the best friend, the best neighbor, and the best partner," Cameron said in the interview, set to be published fully on Friday.
Most recently, British Prime Minister Burnham reignited the debate over the UK's relationship with the EU in a September speech at the Labour Party conference, stating that the Brexit had caused more harm than good. He then declared that all options, including re-joining, were on the table.
