Oct 04 - GSLP Youth Condemn Gibraltar Invasion Video
The GSLP Youth Section has voiced their concern over the recent video depicting Spanish school children acting out a mock invasion of Gibraltar. The group condemns the video and insists that communities ‘should advocate the encouragement and promotion of peace, equality and tolerance. While most communities around the world work towards common principles and values regarding the latter, regrettably we sometimes come about a circumstance like this one, which invokes hatred, discrimination and callousness’.
