Some reaction from across Europe, including the
German state broadcaster ZDF which has called the situation in the UK “insanity
on the island”.
An article
by ZDF said former Conservative finance ministers are “wondering how on earth
their country became an international laughing stock”.
French
newspaper Le Monde has said Liz Truss is “adrift” after sacking Kwasi Kwarteng
and appointing Jeremy Hunt.
It points
out to readers across the English channel that to find another period where the
government went through so many chancellors, you have to look back to 1834.
Meanwhile
in a long-read published in English looking at the state of the country, the
monthly French newspaper Le Monde Diplomatique said that Britain is “a country
splitting apart”. Journalist Jamie Maxwell writes: “beneath the veneer of
national consensus after the death of a monarch, Britain’s fissures are
deepening.”
Italian
newspaper Corriere Della Serra called events on Friday a “political earthquake”
and says that the government’s credibility and economic competence is now in
question.
La
Repubblica said the UK is “more unstable than Italy” and said Brexit was part
of the origins of “the Truss disaster”.
Across in
Spain, a piece in El Pais refers to the replacement of Kwasi Kwarteng with
Jeremy Hunt as “From Mr. Hyde to Doctor Jekyll”.
