"All has gone quite in recent weeks on the mayor of La Línea's plan to impose a toll on those entering or leaving the Rock. The day for its promised imposition has long since past but Alejandro Sánchez still has the threat in his armoury and it could now be brought in to play in the argument over land for the AENA terminal at the new airport.
As revealed in Panorama yesterday the project to create a commercial - leisure complex on the land on La Línea's side of the border is moving forward. However Sánchez is adamant there is room within the plans for the Spanish terminal, indeed it could be an attraction for the hotels and other businesses in various schemes for the land.
The land at the border was once military land and whilst it has been handed over to the town hall there have been rows over the past decade as to whether the administration has honoured the terms under which it was ceded.
This again reared its head recently when the mayor suggested he would not hand over the land to the AENA but would sell it to private developers instead. Sánchez accused the AENA of not having shown any interest in acquiring the land, a claim hotly disputed by the airport authority and the ministry of public works that controls it."
