A new book by local historian Tommy Finlayson was launched last night at the Heritage Trust’s premises in the Main Guard on John Mackintosh Square. Entitled ‘Gibraltar and the Spanish Shadow’, this latest work covers the period from 1945-85 and analyses the Rock’s drive towards civil rights and self-determination against the backdrop of hostile relations with Spain.
Gibraltar’s Special Olympics aquatic team has been competing recently at the European Summer Games in Belgium.
This weekend, incursions by the Guardia Civil into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters once more saw Spanish officials exercise jurisdiction over Gibraltarian pleasure craft. Following the Convent’s statement on the matter yesterday afternoon, condemning the move, the Government is determined that these actions are illegal, and contrary to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
