The Partido Popular has criticised Gibraltar’s wish to establish a new coastguard service.
The idea was put forward by the Gibraltar First Minister, Peter Caruana, of creating a new service ‘charged with defending and protecting the waters which the colony considers theirs’.
P.P. National Deputy, José Ignacio Landaluce, sees that as an attempt to create a frontier, and he plans to ask questions in Madrid to see what the Spanish Government’s position is on the matter which he considers to be ‘inadmissible’.
Meanwhile José Ignacio Landaluce, also said that he rejected the announcement from the U.K. that they will be appealing to the European Court against the ruling which has rejected Gibraltar’s appeal over the new environmental maritime region for the ‘Eastern Strait’, which gives Spain environmental control of waters which the British consider to be theirs.
Landaluce called on Madrid to be ‘as firm as possible’ against the U.K. and noted the European Court had used technical questions to reject the Gibraltar appeal.
