- The Chief Minister says he will not cede an iota of British sovereignty in treaty negotiations and would walk away immediately if there was a risk of this.
Fabian Picardo was speaking to GBC after the UK Parliament's European Scrutiny Committee again expressed alarm over planned arrangements for entry and exit from Gibraltar.
The predominantly Brexiteer committee heard from Junior Brexit Minister David Rutley. Committee members suggested British Sovereignty could be diminished at the airport.
Mr Picardo told GBC: “over my dead body”.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister told GBC he does not think the European Scrutiny Committee can create problems for Gibraltar as they have to respect the will of the people of Gibraltar.
He said Brexit, and Gibraltar’s exclusion from the UK’s own post Brexit Agreement, led to the complicated negotiations which - he says - continue on a very positive basis with the UK, EU and Spain.
Mr Picardo stressed he represents the people of Gibraltar in this process.

Well a few feathers ruffled there...
I voted remain but it was rare that I heard anything about Gibraltar. It was always and often the NI protocol.
¡¡Buena Piki!!
Dead ringer for Mc Ronald Ray-gun who paid in pounds, I believe!
My, my ! how Picardo has changed. I remember the days that he would not give on anything in regards to GB. Now, he is talking about an Enhanced Airport use and Spanish boot in GB. That's right remember you are LLanito not British.
Ojo con lo que dices Fabián que al Gobierno Británico lo que tu digas les va a dar igual.
No es verdad. El gobierno británico y Fabián están trabajando de la mano con esto ;).
@jexpiperUK exacto, nuestra roca no esta en venta y el gobierno en Londres esta a favor de mantener nuestro sovereignty y protegernos de cualquier ataque.
@@danielharo2284 Pues si no se aceptan las reglas de Schengen, que siguen cientos de millones de habitantes de la UE, Gibraltar quedará fuera. Descuida, que así la soberanía no peligrará. Hay que elegir, el cherry-picking no funciona.
I think most of the 20% of British people who are not residents of Gibraltar and who fly into Gibraltar as tourists, family visitors or business people etc. will tolerate Schengen checks as necessary to a good deal for Gibraltar. As a regular visitor, that is certainly my view. I would not, however, given our recent experience with the EU, for example with the NI protocol, discount the possibility of the EU seizing upon this arrangement as another means of seeking to punish the UK for having the temerity to leave the EU.
Great effort fabian!! Great work!
He's doing a great job, le vamos a dar la orden de Isabel la Católica

What a mess since Brexit. Thanks Cameron
As a girl said, " It was just to get you to vote for them".
I am sorry to say that as a mainland Brit, I did vote in support of Brexit. Lied to by Cameron, May, and Johnson, Brexit has been a disaster. Theoretically, it is a good idea for the UK, but appalling in reality, with little concern shown for our other territories.
General Franco simply closed the border. The British government threw away the key and forgot about Gibraltar.
What has Franco to do with this mess caused by Brexit? And by the way, he died almost 50 years ago. How long are you guys going to use him to play the victim? A couple of centuries?
She is just making a point that Franco did what The UK couldn't.
Why are you trying to make bald eagles extinct and you're most certainly not welcome here in Great Britain?
i've never been given reason to doubt picardo's efforts until now. this worries me.
In other words, Gibraltar is about to relinquish a lot of sovereignty.
To whom? They are simply going to de facto be part of Schengen. Border checks moved from land to the ports.
@@blueodum just watch. All the infrastructure will come down and the games will start.
Gibralter is there to protect British Shipping comingvthrpugh The Suez Canal. Ray-guns illigitimate child up there is just tempting fate as he just learned what that means!
