Jul 27 - GSD Says Frontier Delays Cannot Be Justified

The GSD has said that the way the Spanish authorities are testing new security equipment at the frontier “appears to be designed to cause maximum disruption.” The party says that those who suffer from this policy are “ordinary working people, many of which are just trying to earn a living in Gibraltar who have had to suffer pedestrian queues in intense heat.”

The Leader of the Opposition said” "The Spanish authorities just do not appear to be able to resist using the frontier as a pressure point whatever the human cost. This morning there were queues coming into Gibraltar of over an hour and it cannot be justified. We have had to put up with this kind of pressure for years and we are not going to change our minds about our sense of belonging simply because these continue. These queues therefore achieve nothing. We are just sorry for those people who are suffering in this intense heat.  We also support the step taken by the Deputy Chief Minister to include these latest incidents in his next report to the EU."
