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 has today said it notes the comments by the Deputy Chief Minister that the Power Station will not be completed before the next General Election. The party says that, at this rate, the Government may not even commence works on the Power Station before the next election, “which is remarkable,” it notes, “given that this, together with the tunnel under the runway, are the most important and pressing of all infrastructure improvements necessary for the continued economic development of this community.” The party says that it is also remarkable given the regular power cuts being experienced by this community.
With it being held in Gibraltar, the 2015 IDO European Show Dance Championships will be organized jointly between the GNDO and Santos Productions. Both entities will be responsible for the production, marketing and staging of the event. Gibmedia will also join the organising team with Jordan Lopez responsible for all technical aspects of the competition.
Miss Gibraltar 2014, accompanied by her two Princesses, Kristy Torres and Claire Nuñez, has been up the Rock to get to know the macaques a little better and to see them in their natural environment away from the usual tourist hotspots. Their guide was Brian Gomila of ‘Monkey Talk’.
