Angela Merkel ‘tormented’ by Brexit vote and saw it as ‘humiliation’ for EU - eviltoast

Do you agree with Merkel that Brexit was a “humiliation” for the EU?

I’m not sure if I would use that word, but I wonder what other people think.

    If you’re Merkel whose political life was largely about building alliances and finding middle ground, then yeah, I totally understand.

    Notably, while Brexit was obviously a footgun, it also hurt the EU overall, not just in GDP but also in political power and attractiveness.
