Questioning

The British government submitted its bill to parliament on Monday, calling into question the post-Brexit status of Northern Ireland and the need to reconsider the protocol for months, which Europeans rejected and only agreed to.

The protocol aims to protect the single European market after Brexit, without disturbing the peace between the British province and the Republic of Ireland, a member of the European Union.

To resolve this square of the circle, Boris Johnson’s government agreed that Northern Ireland should be in effect within the European market, establishing a customs border in the Irish Sea with checks and documents. This situation complicates distributions and intimidates the Unionist community, which believes the province’s position within the UK is under threat.
