Covid-19 has exposed the limits of 'fact-denying populism', Merkel tells European Parliament
Yeah, but no.
The coronavirus pandemic is showing the limits of “fact-denying populism,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told the European Parliament on Wednesday as she set out her country's plans for its six-month presidency of the European Union.
Germany took over the task of chairing EU meetings on July 1 and faces the challenge of seeking a compromise on a coronavirus recovery fund for the 27-nation bloc as well as the EU's budget for the next seven years as the continent faces up to the task of pulling out of a deep recession.

Johnson Tells Merkel U.K. Is Ready to Go Without an EU Trade Deal
Boris Johnson warned Germany’s Angela Merkel that the U.K. is ready to do without a trade deal if the European Union wasn’t prepared to compromise.
The prime minister spoke to the chancellor Tuesday, as Brexit negotiators held informal talks over a private dinner.
Negotiations are stuck over questions including fishing rights, the future influence of EU courts in U.K. laws, and how far Britain will be able to loosen its rules and still enjoy access to the single market.
