Agreement on pensions for Spanish workers was reached some years ago, but now a new front has opened regarding those Spaniards who worked on the Rock during Franco’s time.
From 1943 to 1969, about 12,000 Spaniards were working in Gibraltar, and these people now say they have the right to compensation and a pension.
The La Linea Association of Gibraltar Workers, ALPEG, says that the exchange rate used in calculations is ‘the largest fraud in history’ and now they want to recover the money they consider to be theirs.
An estimate 5,000 pensions are reported, by El Mundo, to be affected, with the disputed money reaching some 200 million €, according to ALPEG president, Manuel García Bado."
