Lagarde gets tough in the debate Brexit

Brexit hot topic, even more after the killing of Jo Cox in Leeds and the director of the IMF Christine Lagarde, during a speech in Vienna, made an appeal to the British people to vote against the Brexit.

In a speech entitled "Unity in Diversity: A European Support", Lagarde said that "EU membership has made the UK's richest economy." "As in all countries, there are people who are in difficulty in this new environment, but for the majority of citizens has been a great success story," she added.

The speech is a new point in favor of European unity, suggesting that Europeans worried about their cultural identity, security, job, income and the cost of living were led to think that things could improve only if the block of the single currency returned to the border closures and the economic nationalism.

"It would be right now to deal with this negative view with a new perspective for citizens who feel abandoned," she said, inviting even "those who believe that only a united Europe can be prosperous and dynamic to come forward and make their voice ".
