Theresa May Accuses the EU of Meddling in British Elections

I’m sure Russia is relieved to hear that they aren’t being accused of ‘interfering’ in yet another election. In a press conference given earlier today, Prime Minister Theresa May put the EU on notice for what she described as interference in British elections, in an effort to assuage the British people to vote for EU interests.

“Britain’s negotiating position in Europe has been misrepresented in the continental press,” she said, in a reference to a German newspaper’s account of her dinner with the EU Commission chief.

“The European Commission’s negotiating stance has hardened. Threats against Britain have been issued by European politicians and officials.

“All of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election that will take place on 8 June.”

According to the German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, after meeting with the British Prime Minister, the President of the EU, Jean-Claude Juncker, reported back to Angela Merkel, saying that May was ‘living in another galaxy’ and that she was ‘deluding herself.’ He allegedly told here ‘I’m leaving Downing Street 10 times more skeptical than I was before.’

May dismissed the report of newspaper gossip.

The EU’s Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier, recently told the press the BREXIT negotiations would not be painless — an obvious attempt to cast doubt into the minds of the British people, regarding their separation from the EU.

Prime Minister May insisted that she wanted a deal, but that she wanted it to be fair.

“But the events of the last few days have shown that – whatever our wishes, and however reasonable the positions of Europe’s other leaders – there are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to succeed.”
