This weekend Gibraltar topped headlines within a number of major media outlets in the UK, including the BBC. A report covering Sr. Margallo’s insistence that heavy set backs may be employed by the Spanish Government in an attempt to help fishermen who have been affected by the ‘destruction of fishing grounds’ in Gibraltar, states that the UK reasserted its ties following Margallo’s comment, saying that it wanted to continue its strong relation ship with Spain.
The international press coverage of Gibraltar's tense situation with Spain continues with The Express releasing an article yesterday titled "Spain Rocks the boat: Britain furious as Foreign Office warning on Gibraltar ignored".
The article outlines the recent summoning of Spain's ambassador to the Foreign Office. It states that "Britain reacted with fury last night after Spain flouted an official Foreign Office reprimand by imposing further border controls".
In a report that stood as the top story in Sky News’ ‘World News’ category, the media giant yesterday reported that Britain is concerned by comments made by Spain’s foreign minister to Spanish daily ABC, outlining a selection of particularly hard-hitting measures that he claims the Government are considering imposing. These include, a possible €50 fee when crossing through the frontier, the closure of Spanish airspace to planes flying to Gibraltar as well as changing rules to increase tax revenue from online gaming companies in Gibraltar.
The report adds that a Foreign Office spokesman expressed concern over Margallo’s comments causing the department to look into the matter further.
