The Spanish Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, has just made reference to the GiBrexit process between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, assuring that “negotiations are advancing at a good pace” and that “a large part has already been agreed” .
During an informative agency breakfast Europa Press, Albares has admitted that “everything that touches on Brexit are always very difficult agreements”, to then state that “everything is progressing well”, that “a large part has already been agreed” and that “there are things that could be drafted now”.
However, he has declined to reveal the details pending the final treaty, because “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed”, he has indicated. “There is a dialogue with the European Commission (EC) and it is also progressing well.”
«The 270,000 Spaniards of the Campo de Gibraltar guide me»
To questions from the moderator and sent by the journalists who followed the breakfast, Albares replied that the agreements will be “reasonable for Spain” and recalled that “we are seeking a zone of common prosperity for the entire Campo de Gibraltar”.
In this sense, he has insisted that “what guides me are the 270,000 Spaniards of Campo de Gibraltar” and that, in the meeting he held with the mayors of Campo de Gibraltar, “I have listened to the mayors about what they need and what they want” .
Albares has admitted that the covid crisis “does not help” in the negotiations, because “it does not allow such fluid contacts.” But he recalled the commitment of the British Foreign Minister, Liz Truss, to reach an agreement before Easter and the statements of the EC Vice President, Maros Sefcovic, regarding the positive tone of the relationship.
