"It cannot be ruled out that Brexit leads to a domino effect in Eastern Europe"

“It cannot be ruled out that Brexit leads to a domino effect in Eastern Europe,” Asselborn told Tagesspiegel am Sonntag.

It had been a “historic mistake” from Prime Minister David Cameron to even think about calling a referendum about Britain’s membership of the European Union, Asselborn added.

Even if Britain should decide to stay in the EU, “this would not solve the problem that results from the negative attitude of the British toward the European Union”, Asselborn said.

Asselborn said he sometimes had the impression that Cameron and the head of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), Jaroslaw Kaczynski, had a silent agreement on rolling back European integration.
