Cross Frontier Group calls for ‘pragmatism’ and a deal
Brian Reyes 30th December 2020
The Cross Frontier Group has written to Chief Minister Fabian Picardo, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to highlight the need for a post-Brexit deal that secures frontier fluidity at the border after Brexit.
The group, which brings together unions and business organisations from both sides of the border, called for “pragmatism” in the face of “maximum uncertainty” just two days from the end of the transition period.
“As you will be aware, there is an interdependence not just only on the economic side, but also socially in this area, as can be expected of neighbouring populations that are forced to understand each other in order to live together,” they said in the letter, which was made public on Tuesday night.
