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 GSD has said that the Gibraltar Government, and particularly its Chief Minister, “must listen properly before attacking” the Leader of the Opposition adding that the Chief Minister’s twitter account has been “ablaze” in reaction to Mr Feetham’s interview about the power station broadcast on GBC. The GSD says that “amongst the flurry of comments he could not help but also have a dig at his comments regarding the concrete blocks by stating that he does not believe ‘we should be moving any part of the artificial reef in BGTW’, adding that to do so would give up ‘sovereignty, jurisdiction and control.’”
The Gibraltar Bats study, aptly named ‘Gib-Bats’, will be hard at work over this coming weekend with members of its specialist team from the UK arriving in Gibraltar tomorrow.
Gib-Bats is a collaborative study between the Gibraltar Museum, the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society and specialists from the UK, with the backing of the Government of Gibraltar through its Department for the Environment.
Last night the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, was in contact with Algeciras Mayor, Sñr José Ignacio Landaluce, to offer any help from Gibraltar which might have been of assistance. Contact was also established with Junta Vice-President Sñr. Jimenez Barrios.
