Politico writes that many EU citizens living in the UK have had their requests for help rejected by the UK authorities. According to the document, rejected EU citizens feel they are being treated unfairly by the British government at the time of the epidemic.
Although in the agreement governing the British exit from the EU, the British government promised that EU citizens living in the United Kingdom would not lose their rights and would be treated equally with British citizens. But those who have lived in Britain for less than five years will not necessarily be able to obtain the benefit of those who lose their jobs, even if they have already established a settlement state.
In 2004, when 10 other Member States joined the EU along with Hungary, the British government introduced a provision requiring citizens who had been displaced for less than five years to demonstrate that they were looking for work, self-employed workers, students or that they had enough savings to support their families
However, according to a Politico article, his request for assistance was also rejected by reference to this 2004 rule for those seeking registered employment. However, there were those who appealed against the negative decision of the labor authority and managed to get them help. However, many EU immigrants who do not speak English as well have difficulties navigating on the side of the employment authority and do not understand why they do not have access to help. The3million, a non-governmental organization working for the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, therefore calls on the UK Government to address the plight of EU citizens who are losing their jobs and, therefore, in a difficult financial situation in light of the epidemic and the crisis.
