We are citizens because we have the right to move and reside in the EU, the right to vote and stand in municipal and European elections in the Member State in which he resides, the right to diplomatic and consular protection in third countries, right to petition the European Parliament (EP) and the right to contact the Ombudsman.
undoubtedly lack many rights to conquer, and that makes this joint-and diverse-more interesting, more exciting still.
