La Línea mayor 'making a fool of himself'

An article in El Faro Información's online edition of July 20th carried the (loosely translated) title 'Sánchez making a fool of himself by proposing a toll at Gibraltar frontier'. Needless to say, the matter was taken up by just about everyone with any connection to the Rock, on either side of the verja ('gates', or frontier). It was immediately declared illegal, but nevertheless caused alarm in those who cross the frontier regularly but did not follow the story. As El Faro says, 'Mayor Sánchez is incapable of managing his Council or to pay its wages, so he creates an absurd diversion. The Mayor acted irresponsibly the other week by creating queues at the border.'
