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.
Below follows the GSD’s reply to the Government statement on the recently announced GPA appointment:
It is incredible that Mr Picardo seeks to defend that a senior lawyer from the serving Chief Minister’s own law firm should be appointed to as sensitive a position as Chair of the Police Authority.
In an enforcement operation conducted at the Land Frontier by Officers of the Flexible Anti-Smuggling Team of HM Customs Gibraltar, a 30-year-old local man was arrested and approximately 12.5 grams of a preparation containing cocaine and 60 diazepam tablets were seized.
