DEVELOPING STORY: Spanish police are stamping all Gibraltar passports for those crossing into La Linea this morning. They are also checking all Gibraltar passports for those crossing the other way to make sure anyone who was stamped as having entered the Schengen zone is also stamped as having left. The local authorities initially reciprocated, demanding that EU citizens show their passports before coming into Gibraltar. At about 7am, chaotic scenes were captured on camera on the La Linea side as thousands of cross frontier workers tried to make their way across the border. Both Gibraltar and Spanish officers then relaxed the checks for a period of time, before Spanish officers resumed stamping the passports of all Gibraltarians leaving the Rock. GBC understands the Gibraltar Government is now trying to establish if this is a decision by a rogue Spanish officer or if there are new instructions for all officers, before deciding what action to take. Gibraltarians who have crossed into Spain are reporting to GBC they were told by Spanish officers that “the law changed at midnight”.
