Merkel says will ‘fight to last hour’ for orderly Brexit

Berlin (AFP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday she would struggle until the last possible moment to achieve an orderly Brexit, saying the interests of Germany, Britain and the EU were at stake.

“I will fight to the last hour of the deadline on March 29 for an orderly exit (of Britain from the European Union),” she told a conference in Berlin.

“We don’t have a lot of time for it but still have a few days.”
