The other day, Spanish cops started marking all Gibraltar keys for those going across right into La Línea. This brand-new treatment was put on both those going into and leaving Spain, making certain that any individual that got in the Schengen area had a matching leave stamp. The abrupt enforcement triggered complication at the boundary.
In feedback, Gibraltar authorities at first executed their very own checks, calling for EU people to reveal keys prior to going into Gibraltar. By 7 a.m., disorderly scenes unravelled on the Spanish side of the boundary, with countless cross-frontier employees having a hard time to make their method right into Gibraltar.
After a short leisure of checks by both Gibraltar and Spanish police officers, Spanish authorities returned to marking all Gibraltarians leaving the Rock. The Gibraltar Federal government is currently examining whether this was a separated activity by a rogue Spanish policeman or component of a brand-new plan, with Gibraltarians reporting they were educated by Spanish authorities that “the regulation altered at twelve o’clock at night.”
