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 Government has said that the latest statement from the GSD on fishing with nets is “utterly ridiculous and reflects the dangerous lack of understanding” by the Leader of the Opposition of the working of the Constitution in relation to law enforcement.
French singer Françoise Atlan celebrated Sephardic culture in a performance featuring poetry, words and song during a unique event as part of last weekend’s Gibunco Gibraltar Literary Festival at the Convent.
The GSD says that in the direct democracy program on GBC yesterday the Chief Minister “sought to shift the responsibility to the RGP for the lack of enforcement of the Nature Protection Act in relation to fishing with nets by Spanish Fishermen in BGTW.” The Opposition argues that this is not the first time Mr Picardo has done so.
The Sir Adrian Johns, the latest and largest addition to the RGP Marine Section fleet, was launched this morning at the new marine station by Gun Wharf.
