(Agencies) PSOE Senator José Carracao yesterday revealed that the Spanish government will be taking advantage of its EU Presidency to restart negotiations with the UK on the sovereignty of Gibraltar. "I know that Foreign Minister Moratinos has placed bilateral talks with London," stated Carracao, who also believes that the opinion of Gibraltarians should be heard. The Senator for Cádiz and socialist spokesperson on the subject in the higher chamber, pointed out that "there are only two possible options left: we either make the problem eternal, which would be damaging to Gibraltar itself and the area; or we find a solution and work towards a new future that can put an end to the conflicts that are ever present in the Campo de Gibraltar because of the dispute.">
Carracao (photo), who called Gibraltar's Chief Minister Peter Caruana 'brave', said that "this is the ideal moment for the three parties to get together about the Rock's sovereignty as this is part of Spanish proposals to transform the EU during this Presidency." He called on opposition party PP to "stop using Gibraltar as an electionist stratagem and admit that if any discrepancies have been solved and advances in local cooperation made [on the subject] it is thank to the Tripartite Forum's existence, an instrumentthat needs to be constructed on firm foundations that would be even more solid if the main opposition party in Spain joined in a consensus about Gibraltar."
