BREXIT

UK Parlament wird suspendiert

By Jordi Bou

August 29, 2019 - Die Entscheidung des Premierministers, das Parlament vorübergehend aufzuheben, führte zu wütenden Reaktionen der MPs und Gegner eines no-deal Brexit.

While suspending parliament ahead of a Queen’s Speech is the historical norm in Britain, the decision to limit parliamentary scrutiny weeks before the country’s most contentious policy decision in decades prompted an immediate outcry.

In a sign that Johnson’s move had marked a significant escalation in the long-running dispute, a group of cross-party lawmakers sought a legal injunction and the speaker of parliament said the nation’s democratic process was at risk.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described Mr Johnson's move as "a smash-and-grab on our democracy" in order to force through no-deal by leaving MPs without enough time to pass laws in Parliament. He pledged to try to stop the suspension.
