Jul 10 - Landaluce Claims Gibraltar Government is ‘Promoting Tensions Ahead of Treaty of Utrecht Commemorations’
As incursions by Spanish fishermen and Guardia Civil Vessels begin to creep into the press once again, an incident that occurred yesterday morning has sparked a statement from Algeciras Mayor and PP party deputy, Jose Ignacio Landaluce.
Speaking to Spanish Media outlet EFE, Sr. Landaluce insisted that this episode, which saw an intervention by the Guardia Civil, is part of an attempt by the Gibraltar Government to ‘promote tensions’ ahead of this Saturday’s 300th Anniversary commemoration of the Treaty of Utrecht signing.
Yesterday evening the Chief Minister called to deliver the Queen’s Birthday Greetings and his own card to Mr Michael Saliva who celebrated his 100th birthday.
