Luis Montiel has sent the following in response to the Government’s press release earlier today.
Saturday morning proved a productive and worthy early morning as an impressive group formed at the site of Gibraltar’s Pillar of Hercules, ahead of the 9am start of the Upper Rock Challenge, a 3-lap excursion of the Mediterranean Steps and the Upper Rock.
The Government has said that Mr Montiel “appears not to have understood” why the Court has dismissed what it describes as his “spurious claim” that he was entitled to be employed as a Civil Servant once he ceased to be a minister.
Gibraltar’s New Movement has said that it is “extremely disappointed” by the comments made by the Governor when he described the 2006 Gibraltar Constitution as an ‘overreaction’ to the failed Joint Sovereignty talks.
