European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
The Minister for Education, Gilbert Licudi, and the Minister for Sport, Steven Linares, represented the Gibraltar Government at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow last night.
The Government has accused the Leader of the Opposition’s attempts to ‘explain away the failure of his Government to tackle the problem with electricity generation and infrastructure are feeble and unconvincing’.
A No.6 statement touched upon Mr. Feetham’s recent GBC interview, during which he insisted that the Manx Energy Report, made public yesterday, was dated 2004/2005 instead of 1999, as the Government originally claimed it was, ‘in order to justify the fact that the GSD put plans in motion by 2007’.
The Stay and Play Programme for Children with Special needs, sponsored by NatWest as part of the Summer Sports & Leisure Programme kicked off on Monday after an eight day induction training programme that saw Roy Savage Bocce - Co-ordinator for Special Olympics Europe, Eurasia, visit Gibraltar to deliver a Bocce Leadership Training Course.
