La Libre Belgique: May's war against Brussels


La Libre Belgique uses the opportunity of the buzz around the FAZ article on May and Juncker's supposedly disastrous dinner as well as May's speech to analyse her hard tone.

The article quotes her as saying that Britain's negotiating position in Europe had been deformed and misinterpreted. Michel Barnier, the EU's Brexit negotiator, said earlier on Wednesday that Brexit would neither be quick nor painless. 
In addition, the article tells of David Davis announcing that the UK would not pay the EU any money if no agreement was found. In response, Michel Barnier told him the EU would not ask the UK for a 'blank cheque'.
