Ayrault: Boris Johnson is a liar with "back to the wall"

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, said that his counterpart of the newly-appointed British Boris Johnson, is a liar with "back to the wall".

Jean-Marc Ayrault said that Johnson had lied to the British people during the referendum campaign and the EU should now be under pressure to "defend his country."

He said that France needed a negotiator who would be reliable.

Former mayor of London led the campaign to bring Britain out of the EU, writes The Indepedent.

He expected to stand for the leadership of the Conservative party on the eve of the referendum outcome, but not put itself forward as leading colleagues withdrew support.

His appointment as foreign secretary has surprised many politicians and commentators around the world, who recall his story not diplomatic or offensive comments, KosovaPress.

"I am not worried about Boris Johnson, but you know his style, his method during the campaign, he lied to many British people. He has his back to the wall to defend his country, but also the relationship with Europe should be clarified, "said Ayrault." I need a partner with whom to negotiate, that is clear and reliable "he added.

France and other countries of the EU have urged Britain to begin the process of leaving the EU immediately to minimize uncertainty.
