Gibraltar and Spain end border checks as territory's Chief Minister says 'Europe is back'

Gibraltar and Spain have lifted border checks between the two regions, marking a significant step in their improved relations. This move allows the approximately 15,500 Spanish workers who commute daily to Gibraltar to cross without the hassle of border controls, enhancing daily life and economic ties. The decision comes as Gibraltar's Chief Minister declares that "Europe is back," reflecting a broader easing of tensions and a return to smoother cross-border cooperation. This development underscores the positive shift in relations and its implications for regional stability and economic integration.
