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.
The Opposition say it is concerned at the length of time it is taking Government to publish findings and come to concrete conclusions over the future of many key areas of domestic policy, which, it claims, the Government “has kept secret so far.“

Police Constables Philbin, Stewart, Bright, Perez, Ferrary, Reyes, Parker, Balloqui, Trinidad, Sweet, Benhakim, Borge, Victor, Fraser, Hermida, Gonzalez, Jimenez and Passano were inspected by the Governor as they paraded in John Mackintosh Square in front of senior RGP Officers, Members of Parliament, His Worship the Mayor and Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.
