Gibraltar dispute dominates Spanish newspapers It's a marked change after weeks in which the allegations of a political corruption scandal implicating Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and threatening to derail his government have made headlines. On Thursday, reporting on the telephone call between the two Prime Ministers over the matter, ABC mocked up a photograph of the two leaders "facing off" with an image of the contentious Rock behind. "Gibraltar is being unacceptable," was the headline, quoting Mr Rajoy. El Pais, the left-leading daily also reported Mr Rajoy's hardline against the British Prime Minister. "Rajoy keeps a firm hand over Gibraltar after speaking to Cameron," it reported. El Mundo carried a Spanish flag being waved at the border with the Rock looming behind. The editorials in newspapers have devoted thousands of column inches to the issue. El Pais, while insisting that Spain had right on its side regarding Gibraltar said it must be careful to weigh the consequences of its actions. It suggested that the Spanish government's policy of making life difficult at the border could have "undesirable consequences" not just for Gibraltarians but also for Spaniards. It warned against poisoning relations with the UK and suggested a long term approach consisting of "dialogue and good will" would be more conducive to a solution.
