Boris Johnson challenges the European Union with a law that alters what was agreed with Brexit for Northern Ireland. The bill that he has presented to Parliament modifies the Northern Ireland Protocol and aims to unilaterally annul the Brexit agreement. Johnson speaks of corrections to put an end to excessive bureaucracy. Brussels is blunt: “the European Union will not renegotiate the protocol”, assured the Vice President of the EU Maros Sefcovic, and has announced that it will activate the judicial process for violating the agreement. The scandal by the ‘partygate’ and the fall in popularity are behind this law that plans to eliminate the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice over disputes with Northern Ireland. It contemplates creating a “green lane” without customs controls on goods from Great Britain intended for consumption in Northern Ireland and a “red lane” for products directed to the Republic of Ireland, integrated into the single community market. Law that crosses borders. In the United States, the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, has warned that “the US priority remains to protect the achievements of the Belfast Good Friday Agreement.” Both the United States and Great Britain already have a date, the next day 22, to talk about their trade relations.
