EU Commissioner President Jean-Claude Juncker predicts discord among member states during Brexit negotiations

There is a great concern being expressed, alleging that the European Union member states may not be able to maintain the desirable unity during Brexit negotiation according to the Commission’s president Jean-Claude Juncker.

He made it known during a media chat with Germany's Deutschlandfunk radio, when he said: "The other EU 27 don't know it yet, but the Brits know very well how they can tackle this.

"They could promise country A this, country B that and country C something else and the endgame is that there is not united European front."

He asked: "Has the time come for when the European Union of the 27 must show unity, cohesion and coherence?

"Yes, I say yes, when it comes to Brexit and (US President Donald) Trump... but I have some justified doubts that it will really happen."

He added: "Do the Hungarians and the Poles want exactly the same thing as the Germans and the French?

"I have serious doubts."

This information is being made few days after British MPs passed the bill empowering the Theresa May to invoke Article 50 to kick-start the exit talk.
