Nearly two years on from when New Europeans first raised the alarm, EU citizens in the UK, Britons in Europe and democrats everywhere are about to find out whether the UK Government has a legal case to answer for the mass denial of votes at the European Parliamentary elections in 2019.

Join New Europeans today to support our campaigns

On Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th January, Lord Justice Clive Lewis, and Sir Michael Supperstone, sitting in the Divisional Court at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, will hear an appeal for judicial review by EU citizens who were denied their right to vote.

Over 5,000 pages of documents will be laid before the Court including statistics from local authorities and reports from the Electoral Commission. The dossier will be not be unlike the one prepared by New Europeans as part of our campaign for a public inquiry.

We will keep you posted about developments in court which we will be following closely.

In the meantime, it is important that we continue to keep the case in the public spotlight both in the UK and in the EU. 

Your support over the last two years has been invaluable and this week it is especially important that we continue to share the petition, and show the strength of public feeling at the ugly, unfair and in our view discriminatory way in which 1.7m people were denied a vote.

This issue has nothing to do with how we vote or even how we feel about Europe. It is a fundamental issue of fairness and equality.

Those who are eligible to vote should never have their vote denied.

That's why we will never stop demanding justice for those who were failed by the Government and deprived of their democratic freedoms.

It was not just an injustice to those denied, but an insult to all citizens and an affront to our democracy.
