The highly-controversial move is the new prime minister's boldest yet in his push to take the country out of the bloc before October 31.
Many media outlets emphasized the "rogue" in "prorogue" on Thursday, while Belgium's De Morgen newspaper described the tactic as "a very British coup."In its editorial, the newspaper suggested the move was an "underhand" and "devious" bid to undermine British democracy. It urged lawmakers to defeat Johnson's plan when they return to Westminster next week.
The Financial Times went even further, calling on members of parliament to hold a no-confidence vote in order to trigger a general election. The newspaper pictured Johnson with his fists clenched, alongside a headline: "Boris takes the gloves off."
