The decision of the British to leave the European Union (EU) has caused an earthquake that claimed the post of Prime Minister David Cameron, sank the markets and threatens to disintegrate the UK.
European partners deplored the decision of the British and asked the first, as soon as possible, the separation negotiations, for which there is a period of two years with possibility of extension.
“the Brexit is a blow to Europe “said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who invited the French President, François Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, and the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, to a meeting in Berlin on Monday.
US President Barack Obama, who said during the campaign that the United Kingdom would return to trade talks with Washington to leave the EU, was more conciliatory. “The special relationship between the United States and Britain is enduring,” he said.
The result, however, is the end of the Cameron government, who announced his intention to leave office before the victory the Brexit in Thursday’s referendum by 52% to 48%.

” I think the new prime minister is who should make the decision to activate Article 50, “he said about the European Treaty of Lisbon, which will open the period of negotiations for the break.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, saw this results in a certain” superficial attitude “of the Cameron government on issues” crucial “for the country,” the organization of the referendum and its results are a presumed and superficial attitude, “said
The winners were euphoric. With only one representative in Parliament, the leader of the tiny Party UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage, became the winner for having managed to focus the campaign on the theme of immigration, what most interested him.
Farage called for June 23 is declared “Independence Day.”
“Now we have a glorious opportunity to pass our laws and secure our taxes according to the UK’s needs,” he said conservative Boris Johnson, former mayor of London.
the euphoria of “Brexiters” contrasted with the tears of Francesca Crimp, an employee of a bank.
“I’m scared, I voted for the future my son and I now feel very insecure, “he lamented.
” This multicultural city I live in will change dramatically, and the world is not the same, “he said.

More than 350,000 people signed a petition for a new referendum, and another signed by 90,000, calls for independence from London and its maintenance in the EU.
the European residents in London had difficulty to digest the victory of Brexit and, above all, the message that some believe is behind:. “not welcome”
“I’ve lived here for five years and never felt rejected today. It’s like half of yell population for us that does not value us, “he told AFP the Portuguese Carlos Velazquez, one of the 3 million European citizens living in the country, according to the final data 2015.
Cameron defended the referendum call idea, the second in the tortuous relationship between the UK and EU. the British voted “yes” to stay in the bloc in 1975.

After the announcement, the Scottish separatists announced the start of legal preparations for the convening of a second referendum on independence, while Sinn Irish Fein also wants Ulster to vote to decide a union with Ireland.
at the same time, far-right representatives of France and the Netherlands supported the idea of referendums similar to the UK.
the republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, said Brexit victory is something “fantastic” and said that there are similarities between the campaigns.
“people want to reclaim their country, want independence, “he said.
Several Catalan separatist leaders considered that the Brexit and a second referendum in Scotland could give them arguments to require a referendum on independence.

at stake is the legal status of millions of European workers in the UK, and hundreds of thousands of British retirees in countries like Spain, France or Portugal.
The historic referendum showed an insurmountable gap between regions, generations and British social classes. Big cities voted in majority manner in permanence, while rural areas have chosen to exit. Young people were willing to stay within a block that allows freedom of movement, but older people could only see an invasion of immigrants, 300,000 per year, which should be stopped as soon as possible.
