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.
‘It is very convenient for the GSLP-Liberal Government to blame the previous GSD Government for its own failings on a wide range of issues and for the real mess they are getting Gibraltar into. This is no more evident than the latest tirade Press Release on the fishing controversy.
It is not true that the Leader of the Opposition has undermined the position of the Government in the Spanish press. The Leader of the Opposition has simply restated in an interview with Europa Sur the GSD position in a careful and measured way. The interview is posted www.gsdlive.com for everyone to read and come to their own conclusion.
The Opposition is calling upon the Government to clarify its position on the funding of non-evidence based complementary therapies, and to state what eligibility criteria the Minister for Health employs when determining the therapies which will be subsidised by the GHA.
According to the Government, the Devil’s Gap footpath is set to undergo renovation works in order to make the path more accessible in a similar way to that which has been done to the Mediterranean Steps.
The footpath, which leads from Devil’s Gap to the Upper Town, will be closed to the general public for a period of 6 weeks, commencing from next week.
The Royal Gibraltar Police’s Detective Chief Inspector Richard Ullger is currently attending the 252nd FBI National Academy Session in Quantico, Virginia. He is one of a group of 241 US and 29 international students.
DCI Ullger has recently been appointed by his fellow Section 1 colleagues as their Academy Section Representative. As a result Chief Inspector Ullger had to compete for the Session Representation Position together with five other section representatives, who had in turn been selected by their respective section members. On the 18th of February 2013 the baton as Academy Section Representative was handed to Captain David Allen of the North Carolina State Patrol.
Chief Inspector Ullger was extremely honoured to have been selected to represent his section, stating that he was exceptionally fortunate to be working together with many other professional law enforcement officers.
