Likewise, he has pointed out that “any solution that involves closing the border for workers who come to work in Gibraltar, to earn a living every day,” cannot be accepted.

“I hope that today we will not only talk about flags and talk about things like eating and the workers of Campo de Gibraltar,” he stressed.
