Spain and Gibraltar celebrate the removal of the last border fence on their land frontier after a post-Brexit agreement takes effect. The deal, signed in Brussels on Tuesday by the UK, Spain, Gibraltar and the EU, comes into force at midnight, ending border controls for residents, tourists and the thousands of Spanish workers who regularly cross into the British overseas territory each day. The removal of the final fencing element in western Europe follows more than four years of negotiations that began after Britain left the European Union. The arrangement eliminates border checks along the land frontier, replacing the previous controls that applied after Brexit. The sources frame the change as the culmination of the negotiated process to manage movement and access between Spain and Gibraltar under the new post-Brexit relationship. Overall, the reports indicate that the agreement is designed to allow freer day-to-day crossing across the frontier, with the physical infrastructure being removed alongside the administrative border procedures.
