In this video interview, LBRA president and founder Daniel Trigg discusses a difficult, undemocratic and unfair situation faced by foreign residents living in Lanzarote, including himself.

| Daniel Trigg, Founder and President of the LBRA |
Daniel has lived in Lanzarote for almost 30 years so is not entitled to
vote in UK elections. He is also unable to vote in Lanzarote island
elections, Canary Islands regional elections, or Spanish national
elections either though.
This is a problem faced by foreign nationals
living in Lanzarote, The Canary Islands, and Europe as a whole that is
only set to increase with migration.
This video was filmed at the lovely "El Cafe de Manny" at Playa Bastian in Costa Teguise. It is owned and run by the friendly and hard-working Manny who kindly agreed to let us film at the cafe (https://www.facebook.com/elcafedemanny/).
