Spanish Prime Minister Rejects Brexit Plan Over Gibraltar

MADRID (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd November, 2018) Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Wednesday his country would veto the Brexit draft over the disputed Gibraltar peninsula.

EU leaders will meet in Brussels on Sunday for an extraordinary summit to discuss the UK's provisional withdrawal agreement and a political declaration.

"We are disappointed. We found Article 184 in the deal which threatens Spain's ability to negotiate the future of Gibraltar with the UK. It is unacceptable," Sanchez told reporters.

Spanish authorities expect the document to be fixed by the time the leaders meet this weekend, the prime minister said, or else his nation will "exercise its veto right."
