Theresa May must give British citizens the chance to keep their EU citizenship.
The EU is offering British citizens the chance to maintain benefits of EU membership, including freedom of movement, by individually opting in.
Theresa May must respect the rights of over 16 million people who voted to remain in the EU, and make voluntary citizenship a priority of negotiations.
Guy Verhofstadt, the EU parliament’s chief Brexit negotiator has said “All British citizens today have also EU citizenship. That means a number of things: the possibility to participate in the European elections, the freedom of travel without problem inside the union ...
We need to have an arrangement in which this arrangement can continue for those citizens who on an individual basis are requesting it.”
