French President Emmanuel Macron vows to block any Brexit delay without a 'clear objective'

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to block any extension to Brexit unless there is a “clear objective” for the delay. Speaking at a press conference alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris, Mr Macron warned Theresa May that France would use its veto power to prevent any extension to Article 50. Any request from the Prime Minister to delay Brexit past 29 March would require the unanimous agreement of all 27 EU member states. “We would support an extension request only if it was justified by a new choice of the British,' he told reporters. “But we would in no way accept an extension without a clear objective.”
