A meeting was held between Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and UK Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, in advance of the traditional Gibraltar Reception held during the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham. The men discussed a number of ‘topical Gibraltar issues of mutual interest’.
Following a report of an incident received by the RGP on the 28th September 2014 an operation, involving the deployment of a number of armed officers in the area of Buena Vista Road, was carried out.
The Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party recently elected a new Chairman to succeed the outgoing Chairman, Juan Carlos Perez. Mr Perez had held that post since 2007 and had signalled his intention to stand down after the bye-election last year. He was, however, persuaded to stay in post until after the Annual General Meeting to complete his term of office. Mr Perez is a founder member of the GSLP and was a Government Minister between 1988 and 1996. He served in the Opposition between 1984 and 1988 and again between 1996 and 2003. As Chairman he was instrumental in leading the GSLP/Liberal alliance to their election victory in December 2011.
