Commenting on the historic ‘divorce’ between the EU and Britain, after Thursday night’s support of the British citizens to leave the EU, Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said Europe needed a better vision for its future, ‘a democratic and more social Europe’. Tsipras stressed the rapid rise of the extreme right was an omen to the development that came about with the Brexit. ‘Extreme austerity policies, the double standard in managing the refugee crisis, the fences, refusing to share the burdens, were all signs of a prolonged crisis in the European structure’, said the Greek PM. Tsipras questioned the dividing rhetoric in Europe of the ‘wise and frugal north and the lazy south’, adding that the chasm was constantly deepening. ‘A sense of a common future was giving its place to a supposed ‘security’ of national enclosure and isolationism’, he underlined. ‘The result of the British referendum will either be the awakening of the sleep walker on a path to the cliff edge, or the start of the end’, he said. The Greek PM added that it had become evident that the arrogant rhetoric of the technocrats had enraged the European peoples.
