The Government has noted the statement issued by Spain's Interior Ministry this morning, condemning a Spanish website for publishing photographs of law enforcement agents at the Gibraltar-Spain frontier while urging people to take action against them.
Several of Gibraltar’s children’s playgrounds have gone through extensive refurbishment programmes under the GSLA, over the past few weeks, these include the playgrounds in St Joseph’s and Vineyards estates.
The biggest project has been the playground in Cathedral Square in front of the Anglican Cathedral. Here, all the old equipment has been removed and replaced with brand-new facilities. The playground’s benches have been refurbished and a special rubber flooring has been laid so as to minimise accidents.
The Government has this evening welcomed the summoning of the Spanish Ambassador in London to the Foreign Office this afternoon in order to protest about the disproportionate checks being conducted by the Spanish authorities at the frontier and to seek a reassurance that these will not occur again this weekend.
Both parties believe that the policy of the Spanish Government is out of place in the European Union.
