Brexit: Macron calls Brexiteers ‘anger-mongers’ and ‘liars’
French president Emmanuel Macron has torn into Brexiteers, calling them “anger-mongers backed by fake news” whose “lies and irresponsibility” have thrown the whole of Europe into danger.
In remarks that signalled uncompromising opposition to their demands over the conditions of Britain’s EU departure, Mr Macron urged the rest of Europe to “stand firm, proud and lucid in the face of this manipulation”.
The premier launched his attack as part of a broader plea for reform of the EU, which he said had never been “in so much danger”.
