Spanish fishing flotilla protests near Gibraltar
None
Spanish fishermen in some 60 fishing boats are protesting the building of an artificial reef near the disputed British territory of Gibraltar, which has also soured relations between Madrid and London. The fishermen say the reef of around 70 concrete blocks - some with steel rods protruding - can snare their nets.
Gibraltar's government, led by Chief Minister Fabian Picardo, says the reef protects fish stocks from being over-exploited. The dispute has led to a spike in tension, with Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy saying he will take all legal measures to defend his country's interests. (AP)
