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 issued the following statement on the recent GSD press release regarding Barbary Partridges:
In the latest Opposition press release, Jaime Netto has shown a complete lack of understanding and a worrying lack of knowledge of ecology and Gibraltar’s natural history. It is near impossible to comprehend how a Member of Parliament with an environmental portfolio could have got his facts so wrong and interpreted the Minister’s statement so incorrectly.
A Madrid-based British journalist described the Chief Minister and the Spanish Foreign Minister as having been engaged in “megaphone diplomacy” over the summer. William Chislett, who delivered a talk during this weekend’s Literary Festival entitled “Spain: What You Need To Know” was responding to a question from the audience. He also said that, in his opinion, the problem that Gibraltar represented for Spain would “never be resolved.”
A conference which has been organised by The Gibraltar Hearing Impaired and Tinnitus Association and which is supported by the Ministry of Equality, Social Services and the Elderly will take place on Wednesday 30th October at John Mackintosh Hall from 9.30am to 1.30pm.
The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice to signal the end of World War One “the War to end all Wars”, on the 11th November 1918.
