Labour Faces Backlash Over Alleged Secret Deal on Gibraltar's Status
# First Chagos, now Gibraltar! Fury at Labour’s ‘secret’ deal to ‘hand Rock over’ to Spain
Concerns are rising regarding a potential agreement involving Gibraltar, with alarming implications for British sovereignty. Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel has highlighted a draft treaty that has reportedly been agreed upon, yet Labour ministers have decided not to present it to Parliament.
This development follows growing frustration among the British public, with many expressing discontent over Labour's handling of the situation. Critics assert that any such agreement undermines Britain’s longstanding claim to Gibraltar, as the local populace overwhelmingly supports remaining under British governance. “Labour has serious questions to answer about the Treaty they've negotiated,” asserted Patel, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability.
The ramifications of this treaty could significantly alter Gibraltar's status and its relationship with both Britain and Spain. As the discussions continue in the shadows, the potential for a unilateral decision raises alarms about the future of this strategic territory.
