The European Union through the EU Embassy and Delegation in the British capital organized an event in London to bring together representatives of European citizens in the country.

One of the many surprising facts being shared today is the fact that London currently has more citizens from the 27 EU member states, than any other European capital, exceeding one million people.

Five years after the disastrous outcome of the Brexit referendum, after the official exit in 2020 and the pandemic, the EU is starting to have a more direct activity with citizens who continue to live and work in the country.

The European Union, despite the symbolism of occupying the former Conservative Party headquarters in London in the iconic Europe Building located a few meters from Parliament Square in Westminster, the EU has continued contact with the population it maintained during negotiations prior to attempts by conservative parties to use the European population in the country. as a sign to suppress and threaten.

Jaime de Villota, who is in charge of Citizenship, Social, Justice and Internal Policy of the delegation, told in his presentation how many letters addressed to Nigel Farage, the architect of the European delegation, are still being received at the new headquarters of the European delegation, part of the referendum and activists anti-EU (although have made a living thanks to this institution) … the irony of life.

The decoupling situation between the islands and the European economic bloc has many fronts, but one that comes to be discussed during the day is its impact on people and how it affects many areas, from work to social, including the formal aspects of us. continuing presence and residency in the country through “resident status”.

Daniel Fleischer-Ambrus, who directs the European citizenship rights program, recalls the mystical phrase from Monty Python’s filmography, which paraphrases the question “What have the Romans done for us?”

We hear far too many excuses and explanations for how bad bureaucrats in Brussels are preventing the UK from developing and have shown us since the referendum how media and social networks are being used by the financial elite to upset the balance.

In 2022 we have seen the wall that has been built from within the UK for a long time and as sector after sector continues to crumble as a result of consultative and non-binding decisions and some decide that it is the best thing for everyone … that “more the EU will suffer more than the UK”.

The UK is officially entering recession, and the Bank of England has said it will last for at least two years.

On 23 June 2016 and after election day, the UK slept with 66 million Europeans and a few hours later and thanks to the results of the referendum it was clear that this figure would drop on 31 January 2020 to 6 million Europeans. listed on their database, doubling the initial figure of 3 million which we all take for granted.

In Great Britain, many organizations from different European or pro-European countries emerged after the election lost and the way of interacting with countries around us, which we thought would be forever, suddenly disappeared, then realized that for many Citizens our British state has always been only laborers and belongs to the second or third social class.

Nationals entering the UK from the EU now do not have the right to vote and participate in local elections in the cities where they will live and pay their taxes, and are subject to visas and conditions far from what the EU has achieved. residents of European Union countries and who are already residing in those countries.

Events such as the one on 8 November would also be useful in the 27 member states to provide visibility to different migrant populations from across the EU and strengthen pro-European sentiment which has consumed so much work and time for the most part. from citizens who will come to share…although the EU can improve a lot.

In response to a question to Joao Vale de Almeida, the first EU Ambassador to the UK, about the EU’s lack of efforts to unite the national community of EU countries before reaching Brexit, and how this action can help the European project in the long term, Joao answered without hesitation that Brexit is not will be repeated in any member state and has made it clear that this decision only serves to strengthen the project, no country is seriously considering withdrawing from the EU after seeing the consequences in the UK.

The attitude of the EU delegation’s commitment to EU citizens even in the UK is far from the attitude shown by the Home Office with Suella Braverman, daughter of emigrants from Kenya and Mauritius, who clearly shows the fierce face of a xenophobic. anti-immigration sentiment, like that of his predecessor Priti Patel, oddly also the daughters and grandchildren of emigrants who could never enter the country under the conditions they tried to impose.

The EU political model can have many faults, sometimes a lack of solidarity, wrong decisions and with great force of pressure on member states … but now in the UK there is already a majority of the population who with their eyes closed will choose to overturn the measures An illogical Brexit.
