Roughly a hundred British citizens living in the southern Spanish city of Malaga held an anti-Brexit protest on Sunday.

Demonstrators were seen gathering in the city’s central Constitution Square with banners and posters, wrapping themselves in European flags and calling on the UK government to revoke Article 50; the mechanism by which a country announces its intention to leave the EU according to the Lisbon Treaty.

“These people are here because we don’t know what our future holds, we live in a foreign country, we work here, we pay taxes, we vote here. What happens to us now? It’s just a complete mess and it is infuriating that we have no say in who’s leading our country, in what’s going to happen to our rights,” said Harriet Paulet, a British resident in Malaga.

Many voiced their concerns about their future and the insecurity surrounding the UK withdrawal from the EU, as they fear they could be stripped of many of the rights they enjoy in their host country if Brexit comes into force without a deal on October 31.

The rally was also supported by the Spanish residents in a sign of solidarity with the British community.

20 gedachten over “Spain: 'A complete mess' – British expats stage anti-Brexit protest in Malaga

  1. they then should not get any benifits, like the warm weather payments of two hundred pounds, see where that gets them. if u live abroad, how can u be british any more.

  2. Selfish Ex pats in Spain worrying about nothing. Why are THEY asking for democracy? 17,4 MILLION VOTERS "WANT" DEMOCRACY TO BE UPHELD "NOW!!!"

  3. Sitting in a cold bed sit in London a few years ago, the videos of these defectors sitting under the sun, lifting their glasses of wine to the camera and laughing at everyone else ; comes deliciously to mind.
    😏 .

  4. They made a personal choice to live there, it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone in the UK. There are also expats in China and Brazil, we are not expected to be in a political union with those countries for the convenience of those expats. I suggest these expats on the continent should be protesting against the governments of the countries they are living in who are refusing to guarantee their rights.

  5. Please respect the results of the EU referendum. The majority voted out of the European Union. Get on with leaving the EU.

  6. What is it this group of people living in Spain hope to achieve by protesting against Brexit
    "We live here…we work here…we pay our taxes here…I've just bought a house here". 😂😂😂

  7. The moaning woman concerned about Britain says 'I've just bought a house here '. Is it me or are ex Pat's simply the most selfish and greedy want their cake and it it crowd? Thanks for helping Spain's economy luv.

  8. THEY left Britain . So let them stay there .They are only Lemming who have been brain washed by EU. So Sad.
    Typical. Winging Jock .

  9. United Kingdom staying in EU is only 1 in 1000 will benefit, where other EU citizens scoop 100% benefit from us. So we are losing everything and we are drained our economy by European Union. Yes oppositions the EU remainers saying our economy will damage but it is already damaged by EU.
