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 GSD say that the more they probe the Government about Credit Finance the more they are led to the conclusion that the Chief Minister is acting like a “cavalier risk taker” who is gambling with the future of Gibraltar.
The GSD have released the following statement to back up this assessment:
A minor earthquake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale occurred last night at around 11:00pm in the area of Manilva. The tremor was reportedly felt in Sabinillas, Estepona and in La Linea and San Roque.
The Government of Gibraltar has welcomed statements by Sñr Arias Cañete, Spanish Minister for the Environment, to the effect that Spain will start legal proceedings against the United Kingdom in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in respect of the various reclamations and the artificial reef created by Gibraltar in the Bay of Gibraltar.
