MADRID (Reuters) - The government of Gibraltar has filed a criminal complaint against four leaders of Spain's far-right Vox party over its "narrative of unabashed hatred" towards the people of Gibraltar, the chief minister of the British overseas territory said on Wednesday.

Vox, which surged to become Spain's third-largest party after winning 52 parliamentary seats in November's general election, campaigned on a fiercely nationalist platform that includes Gibraltar's return to Spanish control.
