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.
In a back and fourth between the GSD and Government over power issues in Gibraltar, the Government has shut down comments made by the Opposition, insisting that the previous administration failed to address the issue in depth from 1996, until 2011.
In response to recent comments made by the GSD on Government debentures and public debt the Government has claimed that the decision to redeem Government debentures, whilst also giving savers the opportunity to invest their savings in the Gibraltar Savings Bank, has no impact on the level of public debt.
Check out Chief Minister Fabian Picardo’s speech given last night at the United Nations’ Committee of 24 meeting:
‘Mr Chairman
Members of the Committee will recall that, last year, after my intervention, the distinguished Spanish Ambassador replied accusing me of having misled you.
