OREANDA-NEWS. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will appeal to Queen Elizabeth II with a request to suspend the current parliamentary session from mid-September to October 14, reports the English media. The head of government said that such a move would allow implementing plans for Brexit. Johnson is trying to prevent Britain’s "tough" exit from the EU - without an agreement between London and Brussels.

Parliamentarians leave from vacation on September 3. Thus, the channel notes, they have a few days left until the suspension of work and a few days after the suspension in order to somehow prevent the country from leaving the EU without an agreement. Johnson has repeatedly said that Britain will exit the EU before October 31, regardless of whether Brexit terms are approved.

London is trying to achieve changes related to the so-called back-stop - a mechanism necessary to prevent the physical border between Northern Ireland and Ireland after Brexit. Backstop implies that Northern Ireland will continue to be in the EU Customs Union and in the single European market until the parties agree on a border. Johnson stated that this clause of the agreement is anti-democratic in nature, as residents of Northern Ireland won't be able to influence the EU laws that will apply to them.

A referendum on Britain's exit from the European Union was held in June 2016. “For” 52% of the residents voted. It was assumed that the country would leave the EU on March 29, 2019, but this didn't happen, since Theresa May, who was later replaced by Johnson as prime minister, was not able to agree with Brexit on the terms of Brexit by this time. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote a letter to the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in which he pointed out the need to change the conditions for the country's exit from the European Union.
