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 accordance with its manifesto commitment to publish legislation on the holding of referenda, the Government is pleased to announce that a command paper on a referendum law is being published on the Government’s website today.
The Government notes the statement today from the GSD which it says “completely ignores” the explanations provided by the Chief Minister on the issue of the consultation on Gibraltar's EU status.
The GSD has said that the Government’s suggestion that anyone within the GSD is targeting Mrs Hernandez with a vendetta is “nonsensical”l and just another “smokescreen behind which the Government is seeking to hide, in order to avoid dealing with matters of public interest in an open and transparent manner.”
