On the 23rd local time, some British people held a large-scale demonstration in central London, calling for rejoining the European Union. Seven years have passed since the British referendum decision to leave the EU, but there are still many people calling for re-entry into the EU, and great dissatisfaction with the government and the current economy is an important reason.
On the same day, thousands of local British people held up EU flags or slogans and walked through central London to Parliament Square to call on Britain to rejoin the EU. Among the crowds participating in the demonstrations were elderly people and students who were not eligible to participate in the Brexit referendum seven years ago. In the interview, the reporter found that although the protesters are different in age and education, they all have a common feature, that is, they are dissatisfied with the British government and the current economic situation in the United Kingdom.
Marching people: There is a small group of people in our government who have done great harm to this country.
Activists: Brexit has affected many people, and the biggest impact on me is the free movement with the EU and the inability to carry out work normally. This is an area that I am very unhappy with.
The main reason I'm here is that my friends and family around me think we've lost a lot and we're tired of lies. This Brexit process was very bad, we didn't get any good, the whole thing was a mess.
According to the latest data, the UK's economic growth rate in the second quarter was only 0.2%, while the latest inflation rate is still as high as 6.3%, well above the 2% policy target. In the face of today's stagnant economy and high inflation, many British people are pinning their hopes on rejoining the European Union. Polls show that about 60% of the British public has so far supported rejoining the EU.
