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 Government has replied to the latest accusations made by the GSD by stating that the Chief Minister has “not made any concession to Spain” in relation to reclamation or anything else calling Danny Feetham’s criticism of a remark made by Mr Picardo during a recent session of Direct Democracy “irresponsible and ill-considered…purposely misleading and wrong”.
Following a few weeks of its popularity rising in the polls, UKIP last week visited Gibraltar in an effort to launch their European Parliament election campaign, ahead of May’s voting day. Heading the campaign is former Tory Minister Neil Hamilton, who attributes his move to the UK Independence Party in 2002 to the decision to ‘start going straight’, following a number of turbulent years representing the Tories in Parliament.
The candidate presented to an almost empty room at the Eliott Hotel on Friday evening was Gawain Towler, a former UKIP Press Officer and small business owner. He pledged to bring a new wave of representation for Gibraltar in Brussels, insisting that he will ‘listen, speak, shout and cause as much hassle as possible’.
