Donald Tusk, 2017: “Some of my British friends have asked me whether Brexit could be reversed. I told them the EU was built on dreams that seemed impossible to achieve. So, who knows? You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”
Donald Tusk’s final speech:
“I have heard repeatedly from Brexiters that they wanted to leave the EU to make the UK global again, believing that only alone, it can truly be great. You could hear in these voices a longing for the Empire. But the reality is exactly the opposite.“

Tusk:
“Only as part of a united Europe can the UK play a global role, only together can we confront, without any complexes, the greatest powers of this world. In fact, I can say the same about Germany or France. And the world knows it.”

Tusk:
“I have heard the same in India, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and South Africa; that after its departure, the UK will become an outsider, a second-rate player, while the main battlefield will be occupied by China, the United States and the European Union.”

Tusk:
“‘Why are they doing this?’– I was asked this regretful question everywhere I went. One of my English friends is probably right when he says with melancholy that Brexit is the real end of the British Empire.’

Tusk:
“Can things still be turned around? Arendt taught that things become irreversible only when people start to think so. So the only words that come to my mind today are: Don’t give up. In this match, we had added time, we are in extra time, perhaps it will go to penalties?”
