The status of thousands of British workers in Spain is unclear because the British government is still not giving any assurances about the future of non-British European Union workers in Britain. This is a scandalous state of affairs and as I said in this space before the referendum the people which the pull-out will hit the most are expat Britons living in Spain.
At the moment we are unsure about our future rights. If the British government starts getting tough on European workers in Britain, then we can expect similiar treatment in Spain. I sincerely hope that our status will remain the same in Spain even though Britain is no longer a member of the EU, but this may very well be wishful thinking.
It is already difficult for British citizens to get a job in Spain: employers just may well think that it is too risky, because in months to come British workers may need to secure a work permit. These are dangerous and worrying times and we need some answers and soon.
