BERLIN: Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra warned on Tuesday that the EU faces"the smouldering threat of implosion" as Britain and other key countries reject it.
On Britain, he said that"now, in one of the most tragic chapters of the EU, the second most important economic power and single most important geopolitical power in Europe wants to leave the Union". "This is not a victory for London, or for Berlin or Paris, let alone The Hague. This is a victory for Moscow and for Beijing."He added that if the EU can't"inspire the best and brightest" and looks set to lose"a force for good like the United Kingdom, then our Union has a fundamental problem".
