Re: Gibraltar Frontier
From todays Panorama:-http://www.panorama.gi/
The Spanish development minister Jose Blanco has accused the Opposition party PP of complicity in allowing the mayor of La Linea Alejandro Sanchez to persist with his plan for a toll at the frontier.The Spanish government insists that the toll will not be allowed.
If the PP were in government, there would be tolls all over Spain, Blanco added in the Spanish parliament.
He went on to equate the PP's silence and complicity with those who break the law, claiming that was the way the PP acted.
The PP was accused of hypocricy, in that they called for the reduction of taxes, while in those places where they governed they wanted to implement a 'peaje.'
Questioning the minister was the Campo MP Salvador de La Encina from the PSOE who went through the actions taken by the mayor and the recent court ruling. What the mayor was doing was just a means of obtaining finance to cover their failures over the last 12 years, he said.The proposed toll went against national and Community laws.
While the minister Blanco said they would stop the 'peaje', he did not say how.
