With the Spanish government continuing to uphold their claim to Gibraltar's sea sovereignty, saying that the waters of Gibraltar are Spanish as was the case only this week at the UN, there is public concern that the RGP may be undermining the British position in such a sensitive political matter by their Commissioner's pally so-called cooperation with the Spanish police.
