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.
This picture, taken by our roving reporter, shows a group of curious tourists snapping away at a couple of street performers who regularly occupy this spot at the beginning of Main Street.
Following the success of the Santos Productions choir at the European Choir Games last weekend, the Chief Minister invited the group to No.6 Convent Place, in order to congratulate them.
The choir took the chance to perform a couple of the pieces that won them two gold medals, including Viva la Vida by Coldplay and Queen’s Somebody to Love.
Spain’s Partido Andalucista has today insisted that relations between Gibraltar and Spain are at their worst. Spanish media reports note that Algeciras councilman and provincial deputy secretary of the party, Jose Maria Espana blames the on-going dispute on the bipartisanship attitudes of both the Partido Popular and the PSOE.
He also notes Algeciras Mayor Jose Ignacio Landaluce’s recent comments blaming the fishing dispute on former Spanish Minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos’ visit to the Rock in 2009.
