A recent French court ruling has provided new hope for British citizens living in France who lost their voting rights following Brexit. While the decision from the Auch tribunal allows a retired British civil servant, Alice Bouilliez, to be reinstated on the electoral roll for European elections, it does not extend to local French elections or other parliamentary eligibility. This ruling, while narrow in scope, could serve as a precedent for further challenges to restore rights for more Brits in France in the future.
"I am extremely happy about the result. When I went to get the ruling from the court I was extremely surprised because I was expecting a knock on the knuckles."
"I have won the right to vote only in the EU elections. The rest is for later I hope."
