New era for Gibraltar with removal of 118-year-old border controls with Spain

It's a short journey but it means crossing an international border. A British Overseas Territory of around 40,000 inhabitants, Gibraltar has a border control for those entering and leaving. That means that during the morning and afternoon rush hours, when around 15,000 Spaniards who work in the territory cross the frontier, there can be long, time-consuming queues. The fact that there is a border between us is ridiculous, says Chotrani, who has a job in human resources in a Gibraltarian shipping and tourism company. I don't think a fence should separate people from one place and another.
