A change to Greenwich Mean Time from Central European Time has been debated for some years in Spain. Geographically, it would make sense for Spain to share the same system of time as the UK and Portugal given that mostly all of the country lies to the west of the Greenwich Meridian. The acting government of the Partido Popular is in favour of the change, as are PSOE and Ciudadanos. Along with other measures, it is believed that the change would help to rationalise working hours.

And if we gave them back Gibraltar, even better.
Anything to do with the UK is frowned upon in Spain. If Greenwich were in Berlin, we would be altering our watches tonight. Maybe they will change their minds if we give them back Gibralter, which also starts with a G.
The intelligence of Mallorca again ... Such small island backward mentality. You have to laugh at this island .... It is comical
