‘It Will Happen Very Soon’: European MEP Issues Dire Warning on Fate of EU After Historic Brexit Vote

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The Blaze:

Multiple MEPs warned Friday that the European Union would soon “crumble to pieces” in the wake of the U.K.’s historic Brexit decision.

 

“This is the beginning of the end for the EU,” far-Right Sweden Democrat Party MEP Peter Lundgren told the Daily Mail. “So many other countries will follow the U.K. Europe will fall.”

 

“It’s just a matter of time,” Lundgren added. “Britain has set a precedent. Other members of states will follow and the whole thing will fall apart. It will happen very soon.”

 

The Daily Mail reported that multiple Eurosceptic MEPs from France, Germany, Italy and Sweden believe that governments will be under pressure to hold similar referendums to renegotiate the terms of their own involvement with the EU.

 

In fact, Britain’s exit from the EU could “start a process that can’t be stopped,” Beatrix von Storch, a MEP of Germany’s Alternative Für Deutschland told the Daily Mail.

 

“Let’s not forget that even those who voted to remain didn’t like the EU much,” von Storch said. “Remain campaigners kept repeating, ‘the EU is not perfect.’ They didn’t passionately believe in it; they have just been scared into supporting it.”
