Spain satisfied with proposed Brexit deal due to inclusion of Gibraltar protocol

Spain welcomes the inclusion of a protocol on Gibraltar in the draft Brexit agreement, a junior minister said on Thursday, adding that Madrid hoped the deal would be backed by the British parliament.

Spain's junior EU affairs minister Luis Marco Aguiriano told reporters that the deal was positive for workers and residents on the small isthmus on Spain's southern coast.

But he added that Spain had not given up any of its claims on Gibraltar and also said there was no deal yet on the isthmus' airport.
