Former foreign minister predicts Gibraltar could become Spanish in four years

SPAIN’S former foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo predicts Gibraltar could become Spanish in four years.

Margallo explained if Spain makes the most of Brexit negotiations to achieve shared sovereignty of Gibraltar “in four years’ time it will be ours.”

He also acknowledged it would take a great deal of “convincing” to get the UK on board but this could be done during bilateral negotiations.

“We must get the UK to help us seduce the Gibraltarian people, and show that Spain and the EU is a good option whilst leaving is not.”
