My
column of today in the Visão magazine on line is about the relations between
the EU and the UK. The text is in Portuguese, of course. My point is that the
proposals made by the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, should be
supported. Some EU leaders think that Tusk has gone too far in terms of
concessions. It is not really the case. He has been able to put together some
generic rules that can be used by Britain and by any other country. They are
based on David Cameron´s demands but do not give him everything he had asked
for. Now it is up to the British Prime Minister to be able to convince his
party and the voters that there is enough “reform” to justify the continuation
of the UK within the EU. And that´s a big challenge. At this stage, I am afraid
the referendum will be lost. Brexit is today a possibility. Cameron has to
fight very hard to prevent that.
