Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said on Tuesday that his country "is not changing a single comma" in its claim to sovereignty over Gibraltar, after signing in Brussels the agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom to regulate the situation of the territory after Brexit.
"Article 2 makes it very clear that Spain is not changing a single comma of its sovereignty claim, that we continue to assert sovereignty and that our position remains exactly the same," Albares told reporters after the signing.
The last stretch of the border fence, the Verja, will be demolished this Wednesday; the top Spanish diplomat described it as "the last frontier in continental Europe".
