How will the general election result affect the prospects of Britons living in EU member states?

:: RACHAEL BREAKS MALAGA. Each of the UK’s major political parties released their mani- festos this week, ahead of the gen- eral election on 8 June. No party has outlined a clear-cut strategy for guar- anteeing the rights of UK nationals residing in EU countries in their mani- festo. However the Brexit deal each party promises to fight for varies sig- nificantly, and each version could af- fect Britons living abroad differently. Labour’s manifesto does promise to “secure rights for UK citizens who have chosen to make their lives in EU countries,” but does not explain how. The Conservatives have refused to accept ‘free movement’ of EU citi- zens into post-Brexit Britain, which potentially makes expatriates’ futures in EU countries less certain, as many political commentators expect the EU to retaliate. However, in her let- ter to Donald Tusk, Theresa May did say “there are many UK citizens liv- ing elsewhere in the European Un- ion, and we should aim to strike an early agreement about their rights.” In stark contrast, Tim Farron has stated that the LibDems are focus- ing on the possibility of not leav- ing the EU at all, which if realised, would of course remove any uncer- tainty surrounding the futures of Britons living abroad.

AN EXAMPLE

“Through this project I have met other teachers in a similar situa- tion and they have started to help children like Guillén,” says Javier Mur. “My advice is to know how to adapt what they do to their own situation. You have to bear in mind that you are working with someone who is fighting for their life, so the support can’t just be education- oriented, it has to be emotional as well. Making a child realise he or she is not alone, and motivat- ing them so they have more en- ergy will help to give them the will to live.
