Hungarian State Secretary discussed the process leading up to the termination of Britain’s EU membership, and European prospects following Brexit at the Chatham House in London.

According to Secretary of State for EU Affairs Szabolcs Takács from the Prime Minister’s Office, the fact that the majority of the British people voted to exit the European Union at the referendum held last June is not a cause of the European Union’s problems, but a direct consequence of those problems.
On Thursday evening, Mr. Takács and officials for EU affairs from the other Visegrád Group (V4) countries attended a forum in London at the Chatham House.

Mr. Takács explained: “We cannot ignore the fact that it was the European Union’s problems that led to the result of the British referendum”, adding that “The countries that remain in the EU will need to be given sufficient time to analyse the causes that led to the majority of the British electorate to vote for Brexit”.
