On 19 October 2016, Dr Ruvi Ziegler spoke in Parliament at a meeting the All Parliamentary Party Group (APPG) on Freedom of Movement (chaired by Tom Brake MP) alongside Jacqueline Minor, Head of Representation of the EU Commission in the UK. Ruvi is an advisor to an organisation called ‘New Europeans‘, which serves as the APPG secretariat. The meeting was covered by The Guardian. The main thrust of Ruvi’s argument was that it is in (the UK) Parliament’s gift to grant citizens of other EU member states currently residing in the UK the right to remain here permanently, irrespective of the outcome of the Brexit negotiations.
