The votes are in and the “Leave” campaign has won the Brexit referendum, with nearly 52 percent in favour of quitting the EU. David Cameron has announced that he will resign as UK Prime Minister and leave by October. He had urged the country to vote “Remain”. In a news conference this morning he said he would attempt to “steady the ship” over the coming months but that “fresh leadership” was needed. The UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Lafarge declared victory for the Leave campaign saying that June 23 will “go down in our history as our independence day”. Global markets are reeling after the news and the British pound has slumped to a 31year low following the Brexit vote. Some economists are already referring to it as Britain’s “Black Friday”. England and Wales voted to leave the EU while Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to remain. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has come out and said the ‘Brexit’ result means an independence referendum in Scotland is now highly likely.’‘ European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said the “Union of 27” would continue. Immediately on Friday morning he entered into crisis talks with European 9 MINISTERIO DE HACIENDA Y ADMINISTRACIONES PUBLICAS Tribunal de Oposiciones al Cuerpo Superior de Interventores y Auditores del Estado parliament president Martin Schulz, president of the European Council Donald Tusk and Dutch PM Mark Rutte. He released a statement saying that the Commission will not stall the Leave vote and “to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be. Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty”. The referendum turnout was nearly 72%, with more than 30 million having voted. Quitting the EU could cost Britain access to the EU’s trade barrier-free single market and mean it must seek new trade accords with countries around the world. It will take at least two years to sort out the historic exit from the 28-country bloc. European politicians have reacted with shock. German Chancellor Angela Merkel called it an historic day for Europe and expressed “great regret” about the decision. Mrs Merkel said that globally we are “living in a world of turmoil” as she urged Europe to remain “calm and composed” following the historic Brexit result: “Time and time again we are confronted with people that have doubts over the direction that the EU has taken. We have to make sure that people feel that the EU can make a contribution to people’s lives.” II.-ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION (50 words) What are, in your opinion, the main consequences of Brexit? 10
