Brexit: EU officials feel ‘vindication’ at signs of Bregret in the UK

The EU’s unfazed response is to be expected, given how Brexit faded from the EU’s agenda, according to Camino Mortera-Martinez, head of the Brussels office at the Centre for European Reform. “I’m happy this Bregret is finally happening – there is a feeling of vindication,” she says.

“But the fact of the matter is that for Brussels, Brexit is done. Why would anyone in Brussels want to go back to this – even rejoice – when you don’t know what happens next with the UK government or parliament? Over here, it’s one crisis at a time – and we’re in a war at the moment.”
