Significantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/uk-finalises-historic-treaty-with-eu-to-secure-economic-future-of-gibraltar\" target=\"_blank\">the British government has touted the outcome of this agreement<\/a>, stating that it <em>\"<strong>delivers economic and trade certainty for people and businesses in Gibraltar, while safeguarding British sovereignty and protecting UK military operations<\/strong>,\"<\/em> and has further emphasized that the agreement has <em>\"the full backing of Chief Minister of Gibraltar, and his Government, and <strong>the Gibraltar Parliament backed unanimously<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This last point is especially outrageous, considering that <strong>this agreement was approved by the S\u00e1nchez government behind the backs of Congress and the Senate, without any debate in either chamber<\/strong>, depriving the seats of national sovereignty of the opportunity to discuss a matter that seriously affects Spain's territorial integrity. Furthermore, <strong>S\u00e1nchez is doing this after his party, the PSOE, lost the last general election<\/strong>, in which the Popular Party won by a simple majority. This should serve as a lesson to the future government of what to do when the PSOE requests consultation on any matter once it returns to the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>S\u00e1nchez has done with Gibraltar<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/03\/19\/sanchez-ha-claudicado-ante-marruecos-cual-fue-la-verdadera-causa-del-chantaje\/\">the same thing he did in 2022 with Western Sahara<\/a>: yield to the interests of another country and alter the position that previous Spanish governments of different political persuasions have maintained for decades without any parliamentary debate. <strong>S\u00e1nchez is mocking national sovereignty, that is, the sovereignty of the Spanish people, by making serious decisions behind their backs<\/strong>, as if Spain were the private estate of the Prime Minister and he could decide to do whatever he pleases with the future of our country. <strong>It is the same S\u00e1nchez who talks a big game about international law<\/strong>, but always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/03\/02\/the-countries-that-pedro-sanchez-always-forgets-when-appealing-to-international-law\/\">making major exceptions<\/a> so as not to upset his Moroccan, Turkish, and Chinese friends, and who at the same time <strong>has no qualms about flouting national law, starting with the Constitution itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/lamoncloa_gob_es\/55396573867\/in\/feed-73483509-1784214451-1-72157721813991870\" target=\"_blank\">La Moncloa<\/a>.
