90/180 Days

A CAMPAIGN called ‘180 Days in Spain’ has been launched with the aim of ensuring that every British person living in Spain (whether fullyear or part ­ year) has their pre ­ Brexit rights as an EU Citizen properly protected and ringfenced.

In addition, it hopes to improve and equalise the rights of all British visitors to Spain so that they get the same access after Brexit that Spanish people do in the UK today.

As explained to Euro Weekly News in a statement from Andrew Hesselden, the Campaign Director and founder, the organisers of ‘180 Days in Spain’ are asking for some very simple requirements.

Firstly, they want Brits who were living in Spain before Brexit ­ whether living in the country for all or part of the yearto receive equal treatment. Secondly, they are asking for the equal treatment of British visitors to Spain, in the same way that Spanish visitors to the UK receive.

There are lots of ways that politicians could achieve these outcomes said Mr Hesselden, who hopes that the conversations being generated by the campaign are proving beneficial to British and European citizens everywhere.

The campaign already has over 6,000 members and continues to grow.

Its Campaign Director collaborates and coordinates with other similar campaigns in France, Italy, Greece, Germany and Cyprus as well as running a similar Europe ­ wide campaign. Together these all account for a further 6,000 members.

“We already know that certain regions of Spain and France want to eliminate the 90 ­ in180 ­ day problem that Brexit has exacerbated, Mr Hesselden ­ who has a home in Mallorca ­ explained.
