France was the only country which didn’t support granting a Brexit extension until the end of January at a meeting of European Union ambassadors, two diplomats said, pushing instead for a one-month delay to Nov. 30 at the latest. The bloc put off a decision until after British politicians vote Monday on Boris Johnson’s proposal for an early general election.
In a pooled interview, Johnson contradicted comments by Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid that the U.K. will not meet the prime minister’s “do or die” pledge to leave the EU on Oct. 31. The premier said the U.K. could and should leave by the current deadline.

Analysis has shown France stands to suffer the most economic damage due to Brexit as a result of its close links to Britain.
So why are they so eager to get the UK out?
There are three main reasons for France’s tough stance on Brexit, according to senior Paris officials and political analysts.
1: It’s all about Brexit
Brexit is monopolising the European agenda, at the expense of other important issues.
Topics important to France such as climate policy and the need to strengthen Europe’s defences against rising Chinese and US industrial power are all taking a back seat to Brexit.
This is something shared across the pond in the UK, where domestic issues are suffering greatly in the shadow of the Brexit crisis.
2: Fears the EU could splinter
The divisive Brexit debate threatens to undermine European unity and give succour to rightwing nationalists across Europe.
A small minority in France favour a ‘Frexit’, while Mr Macron is steadfastly pro-Europe.
3: Fears Brexit woes could turn domestic
There are concerns in Paris that the numerous controversies over Brexit could spill over into French domestic politics, particularly the campaign for the European elections in May.
If Brexit is extended beyond May 22, the UK would need to take part in the elections.
Mr Macron’s EU strategy is to present his party as the opportunity to move Europe forward after Brexit, and rooting out far-right politics.
