英国内务部正在撤销至少100名欧盟公民的脱欧后居留权,声称这些权利被"错误"授予[1]。受影响者包括已在英国建立生活的人士,他们面临失业、失去住房租赁权和银行账户冻结的风险[1]。
2020年12月31日前在英国不满5年的欧盟公民已获得"预定居身份",超过130万人获得这一身份[1]。2024年3月单月有95人收到相关撤销信函[1]。欧盟独立监察机构警告,英国的这一政策"可能与欧盟脱欧协议不符"[1]。the3million运动组织表达了担忧,认为可能有数十万人受到影响[1]。
The UK Home Office has begun withdrawing settled status—a post-Brexit residency designation—from at least 100 EU citizens, claiming the rights were granted in error [1]. Those affected include individuals who have built lives in the UK, such as a Portuguese-Brazilian woman, and now face risks including job loss, eviction from rental housing, and frozen bank accounts [1].
The revocations target EU citizens who had lived in Britain for fewer than five years before the December 31, 2020 Brexit deadline and had been granted pre-settled status [1]. In March 2024 alone, 95 people received letters notifying them of the withdrawal [1]. The EU's independent ombudsman has warned that such action may breach relevant provisions of the EU-UK Brexit agreement [1]. Meanwhile, the campaign group the3million has expressed concern that the revocations could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of residents [1].
