The nationality(1) of a state and residence(2) in a Member State of the European Union provide every European citizen with the following rights:
- Right to free movement and residence
Right to vote and stand for election to the European Parliament
Right to vote and stand for local elections
Right to diplomatic and consular protection
Right of European citizens' initiative - Right to petition the European Parliament
Right to lodge a complaint with the European Ombudsman
To this day, not everyone enjoys these rights in a homogeneous and equal manner.
- European citizens are granted all the rights mentioned above (1), while European residents only enjoy the last two rights (2), which are the first European examples of residence rights.
- For the "ordinary citizen," enjoying the rights of European citizenship is not obvious, and it proves even more difficult for people in situations of poverty or social exclusion.

to dialogue between public authorities and citizen organizations, migrants, homeless people, and any other person in a situation of vulnerability in order to resolve their socio-economic problems, particularly those in extreme precariousness such as undocumented individuals. (link to page on undocumented individuals below). For this purpose, the MPEVH works, for example, on establishing agreements for decent housing under precarious contracts.
