Only through active differentiation and demarcation, i.e. exclusion, an identity with formal criteria can be created. </p><p>Due to the history of the EU and its mentioned development, the progress of including and excluding is inevitably full of tensions. Many dynamics in citizenship grounded in the tension between the formal law part and the non-/beyond-law surrounding; such as the enlargement of freedom and rights to every kind of explicitly or implicitly economically active persons. Homeless and poor people do not enjoy these freedoms, because of a lack of economic action. The situation is the same when the home state says someone might no longer enjoy these rights. </p><p>Economically inactive EU citizens who want to stay longer than three months in another Member

least one of the parents of that child is a Portuguese national and the birth takes place in Portugal or in a territory administered by Portugal. (That form of transmission of nationality, combining descent from a Portuguese parent and birth in Portugal is the main form of transmission of the Portuguese nationality). No registration is necessary for the transmission of nationality in that case.</li> <li>Nationality is also recognised by the law itself at birth to a child born outside Portugal, provided that the said child has at least one Portuguese parent, and the birth takes place outside Portugal due to the parent's service to the Portuguese State abroad. No registration is necessary for the transmission of nationality in that case,</li> <li>Nationality retroactive to the moment of birth is recognised by the law to a person born outside Portugal if at least one of the birth parents is a Portuguese national, but only if that person's birth is registered before the Portuguese Civil Registry or if a declaration by that person, stating that he or she wants to be a Portuguese citizen, is lodged with the Portuguese Civil Registry. The registration of the birth can be applied for, as a matter of right, at any time during the person's life, by the parents, by another legal guardian of a minor, or by the person himself, if the person is already of age (18 years old or older), and also by the legal guardian of an incapacitated adult. The registration of the birth or of the declaration, can be made at any time during the person's life, but the descendants of that person cannot ask for the registration under this rule after that person is dead. Thus, if one generation is skipped, the next generation cannot register under this rule. Registration can be made either in Portugal or by means of a Portuguese Consulate abroad. If the registration is applied to by means of a Consulate, the Consulate processes the request and sends the necessary papers to the central registry office of the Portuguese Civil Registry in Lisbon. Given that the registration produces legal effects retroactive to the moment of birth, the person, once registered as a Portuguese citizen, is recognised by law as a natural born citizen. (Sons and daughters of that person, even if born before the moment of that person's registration, and even if born outside Portugal are therefore themselves able to apply for registration as Portuguese citizens, because their parent is a Portuguese citizen since birth. Accordingly, this form of transmission of nationality, combining descent and registration, allows for the transmission of Portuguese nationality by parentage from generation to generation indefinitely and as a matter of right, even if the members of the successive generations are born outside Portugal and never reside in Portugal, provided that registration is not skipped by one generation). Many descendants of Portuguese immigrants, especially in Brazil and other Lusophone countries, hold dual nationality, being recognised as natural born Portuguese citizens upon registration under that rule.</li> <li>Nationality retroactive to the moment of birth is recognized by law upon registration to a grandson or granddaughter of a Portuguese citizen who, having demonstrated that he or she has an effective connection to the Portuguese national community, declares to the Portuguese Civil Registry his or her will to become a Portuguese citizen, provided that, at the time of such declaration, the person has had no criminal conviction for a crime punishable under Portuguese law with a prison term of 3 years or more. The effective connection to the Portuguese national community is assumed by the law itself in certain cases (legal residence in Portugal for three years with registration as a taxpayer and as a user of the national health service, plus knowledge of the Portuguese language, or legal residence in Portugal for five years), and in other cases (ownership of real estate in Portugal, or constant travel to Portugal, or membership of Portuguese cultural associations abroad, or legal residence in Portugal for less than three years, etc.) it needs to be evaluated by the Government by means of an administrative procedure submitted by the Registrar to the Justice Minister. Once connection to the national community is ascertained (either by the Registrar recognising that the law itself assumes such connection or by the decision of the Justice Minister) the interested person is then invited to register his or her birth at the Portuguese Civil Registry, and the attribution of nationality becomes a matter of right. The process becomes moot if the interested party does not follow through with the birth registration within six months of being notified to do so. Once the birth is registered, the interested person is thereafter recognized as a natural-born citizen. This form of attribution of nationality for grandchildren of Portuguese citizens, created in 2017, combining descent and registration of birth but requiring evidence of effective connection to the Portuguese community, is available for descendants of Portuguese nationals who otherwise would not be able to become natural-born citizens because the registration of one generation was missed. Because the nationality is retroactive to the moment of birth, sons and daughters of that new citizen, even if born before registration and outside Portugal, then become themselves able to be recognized as natural-born citizens as a matter of right, by having their births registered under the rule of registration for sons and daughters of Portuguese citizens.</li></ul> </div></div> </td> <td style="background:#9EFF9E;color:black;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes"> <ul><li>A person married to a Portuguese national for at least 3 years can apply to be registered as a Portuguese national as a matter of right, provided that the registration is applied for during the marriage (and not after its dissolution by death or divorce).

Perhaps the most convincing and authoritative source that is cited in the article is the acting President of the <a href="/wiki/European_Court_of_Justice" title="European Court of Justice">European Court of Justice</a>, <a href="/wiki/Koen_Lenaerts" title="Koen Lenaerts">Koen Lenaerts</a> who published an article where he explains how the Court analyses and decides cases dealing with citizenship of the European Union.<sup id="cite_ref-119" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-119"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>119<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both Lenaerts and the creator of the Initiative refer to rulings by the European Court of Justice which state that: </p> <ul><li>"<i>Citizenship of the Union is intended to be the fundamental status of nationals of the Member States</i>" (inter alia: <a href="/wiki/Grzelczyk_v_Centre_Public_d%27Aide_Sociale_d%27Ottignes-Louvain-la-Neuve" title="Grzelczyk v Centre Public d'Aide Sociale d'Ottignes-Louvain-la-Neuve"><i>Grzelczyk</i></a>, paragraph 31; <a href="/wiki/Baumbast_and_R_v_Secretary_of_State_for_the_Home_Department" title="Baumbast and R v Secretary of State for the Home Department"><i>Baumbast and R</i></a>, paragraph 82; <i>Garcia Avello</i>, paragraph 22; <a href="/wiki/Chen_v_Home_Secretary" title="Chen v Home Secretary"><i>Zhu and Chen</i></a>, parag. 25; <i>Rottmann</i>, parag. 43; <i>Zambrano</i>, parag. 41, etc.)</li> <li>"<i>Article 20 TFEU precludes national measures that have the effect of depriving citizens of the Union of the genuine enjoyment of the substance of the rights conferred by virtue of their status as citizens of the Union</i>" (Inter alia: <i>Rottmann</i>, parag. 42; <i>Zambrano</i>, parag. 42; <i>McCarthy</i>, parag 47; <i>Dereci</i>, parag. 66; <i>O and Others</i>, parag. 45; <i>CS</i>, parag. 26; <i><a href="/wiki/Chavez-Vilchez_(C-133/15)" title="Chavez-Vilchez (C-133/15)">Chavez-Vilchez and Others</a></i>, parag. 61, etc.)</li></ul> <p>Based on the argument presented by "EU Citizenship for Europeans" and its creator, Brexit is a textbook definition of a Member State depriving a European citizen of his or her rights as EU citizens, and therefore a legal act is necessary to protect not just rights but the status of EU citizen itself. Despite variances in interpretation of some points of law raised by the Initiative, the European Commission's decision to register the initiative confirms the strength and merit of the initiative's legal argument. On the other hand, the counter-argument is that citizenship of the Union is expressly conferred only upon nationals of Member States, and has been lost by UK nationals because the UK has ceased to be a Member State. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="2022_Decision">2022 Decision</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=European_Union_citizenship&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: 2022 Decision"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 9 June 2022, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment in case C-673/20 EP.<sup id="cite_ref-120" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-120"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>120<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The decision clarified that all British nationals lost their EU citizenship after the UK's withdrawal.
