Gibraltar MEP Sir Graham Watson has written to the President of the European Commission on the escalation of tensions ‘with regard to the sovereignty of Gibraltar’.
Mr. Watson notes his appreciation that the Commission prefers not to become involved in territorial disputes between Member States, however he adds, ‘ it does have a moral duty to see the rights of all Union citizens upheld. For that reason I write to seek your active involvement in persuading Spain to desist from its actions.’
In another report on Gibraltar’s current dispute with Spain, the Telegraph has carried out a poll asking for readers to vote whether Gibraltar is British or Spanish. With 725 voters claiming that Gibraltar is in fact Spanish, 4,092 correctly believe that it is British.
