GIBRALTAR - Nearly one-third of Gibraltar's 30,000 residents marched yesterday to call for Spanish recognition of their EU rights. Led by the Chief Minister, Mr Peter Caruana, the protesters urged Britain to stand firm against political efforts by Spain to prevent the pennisula enjoying rights gained when Gibraltar joined the EU with Britain as a dependent territory. Spain does not recognise locally issued passports and bans sea and air travel to the territory.
