European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
The Opposition has responded to the Government’s latest statement about the reasoning for their choice of new Financial Secretary, who is a ‘friend and partner’ of Opposition leader Daniel Feetham.
Feetham has said that this response by the government is ‘inadequate’ and is ‘simply not serious politics to suggest that the Government is doing the Leader of the Opposition a favour by appointing his "friend and partner”’.
The third Series of Gibraltar: Britain in the Sun will hit TV screens on November 5th. The first four episodes will be shown on Channel 5 after 5 months of on and off filming on the Rock.
Gibraltar Cultural Services, working alongside teacher and playwright Julian Felice, will be holding a conference event on Saturday 24th January 2015 at the John Mackintosh Hall. Based on the successful TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of talks (www.ted.com), Gib Talks will see a range of local speakers deliver fifteen-minute talks on a broad spectrum of subjects with the aim of focusing on the anecdotal, the personal and the light-hearted as opposed to heavy-going academics and agendas. The speakers will represent a cross-section of the community and will help to make up a rich and varied programme.
It is surprising, says the Government, that the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Daniel Feetham, seems to have chosen to object to the appointment by the Chief Minister of Mr Feetham's friend and law partner, Albert Mena, as Financial Secretary.
