The European Citizenship Movement

EU Citizenship, once granted, is inalienable.

The creators of eucitizenship.org were advised by a large number of lawyers over several years that blanket removal of EU Citizenship from 67 million UK EU Citizens against their will was unlawful under EU law. Acting on legal advice, in April 2020 we brought a case in the EU Court of Justice. Rather than hear that case, the EU Court delayed and obfuscated for several years, and then finally denied us a Hearing in June 2023. Our conclusion was that the Court was essentially, in this case, influenced by politics rather than law, so in October 2023 we made an initial application to the European Court of Human Rights. When that initial application was refused we carried out a careful legal analysis, and we are now working toward a new Application which will be based on Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, namely our guarantee of the right to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal when determining civil rights or criminal charges. 

Grass-roots support for our action across the UK has grown to such an extent that we are now the EU Citizenship Movement, with about 163,000 Members, and as such we are one of the largest pro EU Movements in the UK. Polling now tells us that averaged over all ages, about 60% of us would vote to rejoin the EU - though this rises to 86% for 18-24 year olds.

Given the fact that there is now clear majority support in the UK to rejoin the EU, it is interesting to ask exactly why the UK left the EU following the 2016 Referendum and how the EU leave vote came about. Members may be interested to know that a nine year investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016  Referendum has thrown up the rather startling information that Russian interference and money may have been known by the Tory government early in 2017 to have rendered the Referendum vote not free and fair. This raises the most serious questions about UK democracy,  so as a result the Movement has a letter which we now plan to send to Baroness May (read it here). We will keep Members informed as this investigation progresses.
