Europe’s press isn’t happy at the Brexit ruling either

Britain’s newspapers aren’t happy at yesterday’s High Court ruling that the government cannot trigger Article 50 without the say-so of Parliament. And the news isn’t going down well in Europe either. There are fears that a Brexit hold-up could have ramifications on the continent. In the days after the referendum, European leaders were quick to call for a speedy Brexit. Now there are worries that a delay in the British courts could make that impossible – spelling trouble for a European Union which, for the large part, wants to get Brexit over and done with. Here’s how the European press has reacted to yesterday’s decision:

In France, Le Monde says the ruling that Parliament must begin Britain’s exit from the EU is a ‘severe affront’ to Theresa May, warning that it could weaken her position in negotiations with the EU. The newspaper also suggests there’s a possibility things could get worse, pointing out the fact the European Court of Justice could eventually be forced to rule on the Article 50 row.
