Thoughts?2016 – After the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union on June 23, Spain reiterated its position that it wanted to jointly govern Gibraltar with the United Kingdom and said it would seek to block Gibraltar from participating in talks over future deals between the UK and EU.[81]
2017 – Following the United Kingdom's triggering of Article 50 to begin the Brexit process,[82] the European council released a series of guidelines on negotiations for withdrawal. Within these guidelines, core principal number 22 stated that "After the United Kingdom leaves the Union, no agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom may apply to the territory of Gibraltar without the agreement between the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom"[83] suggesting that Spain had been given a veto. This angered the United Kingdom's government, with Foreign minister Boris Johnson responding swiftly and re-iterating the United Kingdom's commitment to Gibraltar.
