The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has said that although Gibraltar prefers a treaty to govern our relationship with the European Union, there are fundamental red lines which the Government is not prepared to cross in order to achieve it. Dr Garcia was speaking in Brighton today at the annual party conference of the U.K. Liberal Democrats.
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has said that the meeting of the Joint Ministerial Council in London this week has proved to be a “very useful forum” for Gibraltar. It has provided, he said, a framework for exchanging views with the United Kingdom and with the Governments of the different Overseas Territories.
The BBC’s Madrid correspondent, Tom Burridge, has revealed in an interview that he was asked by the Government of Gibraltar to change the wording used to refer to British Gibraltar Territorial Waters in his reports on the Gibraltar conflict over the summer.
The Government notes the statements made by the municipal authorities in Algeciras saying that the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, is not welcome in Algeciras.
