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 Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, has reacted to the GSD’s recent statement on Public Finances:
“I note the latest GSD statement on the deficit. As Minister for Public Finances, I take full responsibility for the state of the Public Finances of Gibraltar. But I must remind the GSD that Mr Clinton and Azzopardi took the relevant decisions with me to spend the money that has resulted in the losses that we are experiencing.
The Government of Gibraltar has issued an airspace restriction to Russian aircraft. No aircraft owned, chartered or operated by a person connected with Russia are permitted to land at Gibraltar’s airport.
