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.
The Government has said that the latest statement by the Opposition regarding criticism of Mr Feetham on Facebook is a “feeble attempt to turn the tables after he has put his foot his foot in it.”
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, has visited Sacred Heart Middle School at the invitation of Year 7 children who had been studying the 1967 Referendum as part of a school-wide local history initiative. He then took questions on the Referendum and on how the political process works in Gibraltar. Mr Picardo gave the children a unique insight into how local politics functions.
‘Rock and Fortress,’ the private concern that has been managing and operating the World War Two Tunnels and O’Hara’s Battery attractions has been taken over by the Government. The new arrangements will come into place on November 1st.
