Yeah, good luck getting the EU to pay that. GB kicks everyone out and then expects them to still pay for the properties, that’s fucking hilarious. EU is going to laugh them out of the door.
This is connected to Brexit, sure, but I am almost certain (it’s not mentioned in the article though) that the landlord for the property is not the UK government but rather a private enterprise of some sort. So the EMA having to move out is not the fault of the landlord, really. The realistic options are spelled out in the article: the space stays empty until 2039, the EMA find someone who wants to sublet it, or EMA/UK gov/landlord find a deal together. I don’t see the EU just ignoring its obligations as an option, not least because the EU-UK relationship is still important.
