CM Seeks Explanation After Proteccion Civil Incident
21 October 2019

Yesterday the Chief Minister released a statement calling for an explanation on why a group of Spanish "Proteccion Civil" officers were able to drive into Gibraltar without being stopped.
The Chief Minister said: "The incident today whereby Spanish "Proteccion Civil" officers have not been stopped when driving across our border is more than just concerning. I am asking all relevant bodies to explain to me how on earth this has happened & to ensure it does not happen again. This is frankly not acceptable. Our systems have failed today and they must not fail again. Someone must take responsibility for this failure."
