The Gibraltar First Minister, Fabian Picardo, has said ‘Cancelling Doña Sofías trip (to London for Queen Elizabeth’s celebrations for 60 years on the throne) is a reaction from the 18th century’. ‘Spain has 8,000 kilometres of coast. Are they going to stop fishing for 3 kilometres?. Somebody has said ‘Gibraltar español’ again and is looking for conflict. Picardo said he was prepared to maintain talks with the fishermen affected in the Algeciras Bay. He said that he was surprised by what has happened. ‘This has now become a stumbling block, and it is a pity that the celebration for a woman who has been at the world level for 60 years, can’t be enjoyed by her cousin’. Despite his message of conciliation, Picardo also asked for the Spain and Andalucía not to use Gibraltar ‘as a scapegoat to distract attention’.
