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 Chief Minister has said that he has been delighted with the response received from residents of Alameda Estate who have thanked him for writing directly to them in relation to what the Government terms “misleading communications” they had been sent about the fair being transferred to Grand Parade this year.
The GSD has said that the Chief Minister’s decision to send a letter to residents of Alameda Estate is a move which “confirms the view of many that Gibraltar is being led by a politician who has a greater interest in his popularity than in doing the right thing and getting the job done.” The Chief Minister has written personally, on No. 6 letterhead, to the residents of the Estate in response, says the GSD, to the postcards sent by the Opposition seeking the views of residents on the location of the fair at Grand Parade.
Equality Rights Group Chairman Felix Alvarez and Secretary Charles Trico last week presented an appreciation bouquet to the Minister for Equality “in thanks and sincere recognition of the committed work towards equality and human rights which she has and continues to exert for the community.”
