Re: Gibraltar 2
Spain has again said that Gibraltar waters are Spanish, at a time when The Convent has accused the Spanish helicopter of making an incursion over Gibraltar airspace. It all points at the serious incident on the eastside last Sunday and the naivity of the RGP of establishing so-called 'cooperation' with the Spanish which is leading to Spain making inroads into Gibraltar sovereignty.

Gibraltar enjoyed greater self-government than any region of Europe.
There was also a reflection on the potential impact of Brexit on both sides of the border, given that 15,000 persons live in Spain and work in Gibraltar and the fact that Gibraltar imports 1.5 billion euros a year in goods and materials from Spain.”
