Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
The ninth edition of the Gibraltar Beer Festival takes place this evening at 7pm at the Bayside Sports Complex. A selection of beers and ciders will be available. There will also be a BBQ and live music will be provided by local bands The Trio and Jetstream.
Taking note of the recent news that the UK Ambassador held a meeting with the President of the Junta de Andalusia, the Opposition regrets that the people of Gibraltar must hear about such a meeting in the Spanish press, before the local press.
A statement released by the GSD notes that ‘without having further information, we do not understand why the UK Ambassador should be talking about Gibraltar to the President of the Junta de Andalusia in the absence of the Gibraltar Government.’
