  • Page 1 Donald Tusk President of the European Council Europa Building
    Donald Tusk President of the European Council Europa Building Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 B-1048 Bruxelles/Brussel Belgium 24 November 2018 Subject: The Draft Agreement of 14 November 2018 on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union Dear Mr Tusk On Saturday 20 October, 700,000 people from all parts of the UK marched in London to demonstrate their opposition to Brexit and their wish to remain at the heart of Europe. The people who came spanned the generations, from babies riding on their mothers’ shoulders to old people who struggled bravely to walk the route of the march. We write as a grassroots network linking many of the pro-European campaign groups which have sprung up all over the United Kingdom and beyond, and whose supporters were on that march. Our movement is growing rapidly, as more and more people living in the UK come to realise what Brexit means for us as individuals, for our country and for Europe as a whole. Arguably, the UK now has the largest and most passionate pro-EU supporter base in the whole of Europe! We wish to make you aware of the strength of feeling on this matter amongst the people of the United Kingdom. Millions of us want to retain the rights and freedoms granted to us under the EU Treaties and to continue to play a role at the heart of Europe. Brexit in any form would take away rights which we all hold as individuals, but we do not accept that these rights can be taken away without our consent.
