The longest queues this summer as Spanish national police go-slow
|
The longest queues of the summer are now taking place, as Spanish national police go-slow at the frontier.
Pedestrian queues into Gibraltar yesterday stretched all the way from the frontier into La Linea. Cars were also trailing back as far as the eye could see.
The Spanish police are aggrieved with the Spanish government for having let them down on a claim, but it is the tourists and residents who are suffering the consequences.
As we exclusively reported yesterday, there was a noisy protest on Saturday night as cars were taking close on 2 hours to enter the Rock.
The queue was simply on a standstill for most of the time - and people stuck in it were showing their desperation by blowing their car horns.
Just after Friday midnight, there was also a queue that stretched all the way back into Gibraltar to the area of the air terminal.
And on Friday morning people entering Gibraltar were already claiming that the queues were unnecessarily long.
There are times when there are no queues. It seems that the police are taking sporadic action, deciding at what time of the day and night they start their go-slow.
