Together Gibraltar says it's relieved that on New Years Day Gibraltar will not fall off the precipice of a hard Brexit, with almost certain chaos at the border and great uncertainty for citizens and businesses. But, it also feels it can not fully support the agreement until all the details are known.
The Party says it understands that not reaching an agreement would have been disastrous for Gibraltar, denting our prosperity and threatening our way of life, and believes that - as far as is currently known - this deal does not appear to risk damaging our identity or our ability to govern ourselves.
The party also claims we find ourselves in this position because in June 2016 the UK effectively threw Gibraltar to the lions, ripping us out of the EU unwillingly, and allowing Spain a veto over our ability to access a trade deal, eventually signing its own trade deal that left the Rock to negotiate a deal with little or no leverage.
Together Gibraltar believes that eliminating the frontier and reducing barriers to goods and trade can bring prosperity and a healthier relationship between Gibraltar and its neighbouring territories. The party will review its support for this agreement when the details have been disclosed in full.
