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.
Picked up by a variation of major international news publications today and yesterday, Sunday’s most recent incursion into BGTW by Spanish Survey vessel ‘Angeles Alvarino’ has been highly condemned by both the UK and Gibraltar Governments.
The results of an opinion poll conducted by the Gibraltar Chronicle show that, if an election were held today, the GSLP-Liberals would once again be elected into office but this time with a 20% lead over the GSD Opposition. Without taking into account undecided voters, the GSLP-Libs received 60% of the vote with the GSD taking 40%.
An incident yesterday afternoon involving the Spanish state research vessel Ángeles Alvariño is being treated as a “serious incursion” by the Foreign Office.
