...as a Gambian presidential candidate says her disqualification from running was due to difficulties in being able to renounce her U.S. citizenship 

The Paris-based Association of Accidental Americans on Monday filed a fresh complaint against the U.S. State Department, this time alleging that the continued suspension of voluntary expatriation services in U.S. embassies and consulates around the world was a violation of the U.S. constitution.

The Paris-based Association of Accidental Americans (AAA) said it has today filed a "request for enforcement" with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), in which it said it is "demanding an immediate halt to the automatic transfer of European citizens’ personal data to the United States," as part of the Dutch government's compliance with the U.S. tax evasion-prevention law known as FATCA.

The Association of Accidental Americans (AAA) has issued a call for volunteer plaintiffs "for the lawsuit we are going to bring against the State Department," now that it has decided to go ahead with its latest complaint over the way the U.S. currently facilitates citizenship relinquishments. 

The Paris-based Association of Accidental Americans (AAA) has announced that it is planning to file a fresh complaint against the U.S. State Department, in an effort to force it to enable those dual citizens around the world who wish to renounce or relinquish their U.S. citizenships to be able to do so, in spite of the continued closure of many U.S. embassies and consulates, due to the Covid pandemic. 

The latest attempt by certain French lawmakers to introduce a proposed amendment that would oblige the U.S. to reciprocate with respect to the information it currently receives from France under FATCA has ended, after members of France's National Assembly voted against it late in the afternoon on Friday.  

The Association of Accidental Americans has filed an appeal with the Luxembourg Administrative Tribunal against a decision by the Luxembourg tax authorities not to halt transfers of the personal data of Americans resident in the country to the U.S., in compliance with FATCA.

The Paris-based Association of Accidental Americans has announced that several of its members have been told that they face the closure of their BNB Paribas Private Bank accounts within two months, as they have failed to provide the bank's officials with a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN), which they don't have. 

Europe's accidental Americans say they're cautiously optimistic that a recently-announced follow-up to last week's ECOFIN discussion on FATCA may at last yield results – at least in the form of an agreement by top EU officials to prioritize the accidentals' concerns, as these officials prepare to meet in coming weeks and months with their counterparts in the new Biden administration. 

Six well-known French Parliamentarians have called on French President Emmanuel Macron to take action with respect to the "tax and banking difficulties" the country's estimated 40,000 'accidental Americans' are "still" struggling with, as a result of the 2010 American law known as FATCA.
