LETTER: Save European Citizenship
After the referendum on the UK's membership of the EU earlier this year, over 16 million '˜remain' voters face having their right to live and work across the EU taken away from them.
As EU citizens, we are entitled to visa-free travel across the 27 member states, we have the freedom to live and work anywhere on the continent, and we have the same access to all essential services in EU countries as people from each of the member states do. There is absolutely no precedent where people have lost citizenship of one nation without either a war or that nation ceasing to exist.
Therefore, it is vital that the Government commits to protecting our EU citizenship in any Brexit negotiations.
