Merkel: I will fight to the 'last hour' for orderly Brexit
By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday she would fight until the end to achieve an orderly Brexit. "I will fight to the last hour of the deadline on March 29 for an orderly exit," she told a conference in Berlin ahead of the crucial EU summit later this week. Merkel added it was a fundamental interest for the UK and the EU to avoid Britain crashing out of the bloc.
