There is a notable amount of "expats" who permanently moved to Spain under freedom of movement, then voted for Brexit and then were angry that Spain/EU started to treat them as foreigners.

How many hundred that are I don't know, but they made "fun" news stories during those times.

Those expats are residents though, and thus wouldn't be impacted by the proposal being discussed in the linked article.

Seems like every human story then. The few-and-far-between exceptions get magnified by 100-1000 times their actual significance by people on the other side.
