Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
In a statement released yesterday evening, the Gibraltar Government has condemned the Spanish Minister for the Interior, Jorge Fernandez Diaz for his comments claiming that Gibraltar does not tackle tobacco smuggling, tax evasion and money laundering.
The Gibraltar Model Soldier Society is holding an exhibition from Monday the 30th September to Friday the 4th October 2013 at the John Mackintosh Hall. There will be various toy and model figures, dioramas and collections on display during this week.
Chief Minister Fabian Picardo today met with representatives of the local Unite the Union branch, as well as members of Spain’s largest trade union Comisiones Obreras and UGT.
Mr. Picardo has been adamant in his insistence that cross border union cooperation is necessary for Gibraltar. During a recent conference hosted by Unite, covering the matter of Industrial Relations, Mr. Picardo insisted that they were looking into convincing un-registered cross border workers to register officially, as they would then benefit from laws protecting workers.
