Gibraltar National Day and border agreement

Overview

Gibraltar celebrated its National Day at Casemates Square, marking the first such occasion following a historic border agreement that entered into force on July 15. The new arrangement, negotiated between Spain, Gibraltar, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, has resulted in more fluid transit at the border, easing previous tensions that impacted local families and economies.

The event also served as the final National Day for Chief Minister Fabián Picardo, who announced his retirement from frontline politics after fifteen years in office. Picardo highlighted the success of the treaty in maintaining British sovereignty while resolving long-standing border issues and fostering closer connections with the European Union.
