May 30 - GSD to Contest By-Election
The Executive of the GSD met yesterday evening to consider the 4th July 2013 by-election. They released a statement today reading:
The overwhelming majority of the GSD Executive voted in favour of fielding of a candidate for the by-election.
Although it is true that this by-election arises in the context of the sad death of Mr Charles Bruzon, it is important in a mature democracy that the GSD Opposition provides the electorate with an opportunity to make a statement about the political performance of the Government on a number of important issues for this community.

May 30 - Minister Bossano's UN speech in Ecuador
Mr Chairman,
I want to thank the Government of Ecuador for once again hosting the Annual Seminar which is a reflection of Ecuador’s commitment to the cause of decolonisation.
Last year I showed the parallels between my country’s history and Ecuador’s, and I exposed the absurdity of the Spanish stance in opposing our decolonisation.
Spain told you that it will never acknowledge any international legal status to the Gibraltarians. Their contempt for us, the owners of our homeland, is such that they describe us as “the current inhabitants of Gibraltar” as if we were recently arrived illegal immigrants.
