(25 Mar 2017) Almost a hundred Spaniards and Brits joined together in Madrid on Saturday to urge lawmakers to protect the rights of citizens following the UK's exit from the European Union.
They made their case as part of a gathering to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the EU's foundation.
The EU anniversary comes four days before the British government plans to trigger negotiations to break from the 28-nation bloc after the country voted to leave in a referendum in June.
On Wednesday, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator said that failure to reach an orderly agreement on the UK's exit could leave four million European and British citizens uncertain about their rights and future.
Many of the protesters of British nationality residing in Spain have shown their discontent amid mounting concern over their future rights.
