What I was trying to say is: there was and is no status of part-time resident in the treaties. In the eyes of the treaties, One is either a full-time resident or not a resident.

We can start be Carney becoming president of Europen Commission? On a part-time basis. He can combine it with his job as Canadian PM.

Seizing Russian assets was a stupid idea. Using EU headroom is a much better way to fund Ukraine.

The current solution (using EU headroom) is way better than seizing Russian assets.

Link below is 2023 EC guidance on 2004/38/EC. I cannot find part-year residence in it. As per this doc this is not a status that is recognized by the EU. Not recognized = not protected. Unlike e.g. Zambrano residence which is recognized as a result of ECJ case.

Where in the treaties had they commitment to making such arrangements. In fact, the treaties explicitly say that no such commitments exist.

Well. That's the nature of the EU as agreed between its member states. It's not the United States of Europe. (Which I would support, I think.)

Indeed. The UK has to make such decisions in accordance with its constitution. If that inconveniences a few leavers, then so be it.

It does if you don't want to be subject to some of the rules and regulations that apply when you are in it.

So you agree that the statement "EU stopped honouring" is incorrect, because that is exactly what I said in the post you just replied "yes" to.

So you guys keep repeating vote-Leave talking points without any proof. QED.

Exactly. Had all MS agreed to unconditional EU citizens rights in the treaties, then not extending these rights for citizens of a departing MS would be not honoring these rights. But they hadn't and so it wasn't.

Not the point I am trying to make. The point I am trying to make is: MS join and leave as one sovereign entity, even if individual citizens of said MS disagree with the move. So yes, if/when UK rejoins, leavers will have to accept that decision, like remainers had to when UK left.

What I also object to is rehashing vote-Leave talking points like "Spain wants the help us but Brussels won't allow it to punish us".

I will also repeating one more: EU treaties are laws of men, not laws of nature. Maybe some of these rules (e.g. 90/180) are bad and stupid, maybe they aren't, idk. It's absolutely fine for anyone to try and get these changed. But no gaslighting and no obfuscation please.

Since not all citzs of a country join or leave against their will, there will always be someone who can claim their "rights" are being taken away. That is the nature of democracy and the fact that the EU operates on the level of sovereign MS, not individuals.

I am arguing against these ppl claiming the EU took away their rights.

That's not my point. My point is that countries join and leave EU as a unit, gain and lose rights and obligations as a unit.
