Rocky future?

So, nothing has really changed. But both Sanchez and May are on difficult ground. In Andalusia, which borders Gibraltar, there are elections next week and Sanchez's socialists are hoping to do well. If it had appeared that Sanchez had surrendered to the European Union over Gibraltar in the Brexit deal, then he would have been in trouble and his party would have felt it at the ballot box. Therefore, Sanchez proclaims victory.

For May, Gibraltar is only a very small part of the problem. She must now get parliament to approve her Brexit deal and there is opposition left, right and centre. There is some concern that the British Prime Minister may have sold out Gibraltar in her hurry to get the Brexit deal approved by the EU. But British diplomats and the government of Gibraltar were quick to say yesterday that nothing has changed. I do believe that Spain has lost an opportunity, though. Instead of acting as a bully towards the people of Gibraltar it could always use diplomacy - much more sensible.
