The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has said that although Gibraltar prefers a treaty to govern our relationship with the European Union, there are fundamental red lines which the Government is not prepared to cross in order to achieve it. Dr Garcia was speaking in Brighton today at the annual party conference of the U.K. Liberal Democrats.
Businessman and active social media figure Bryan Zammit signed on as an independent candidate for July’s by-election this morning at the Gibraltar Parliament. Mr Zammit says the main thrust of his campaign would be to “bring an end to party politics.”
He payed his respects to the late Charles Bruzon but said that, however tragic the reasons behind the by-election, it was really the “only chance” for an independent candidate to get into Parliament saying that a vote for the parties already represented would amount to a “wasted vote.”
Standing in as Chief Minister whilst Fabian Picardo and Dr. Joseph Garcia address the UN Delegation of 24 in New York this week, Minister for Equality and Social Services Samantha Sacramento this morning arrived at No.6 Convent Place, where she will work from until the Chief Minister returns on Thursday.
Commenting to YGTV on how she feels about being appointed acting Chief Minister, Minister Sacramento explained that it is ‘an absolute privilege to be able to have this experience’. Speaking on how she felt when she was asked to take on the task, Minister Sacramento added, ‘it was a very humbling moment when we discussed it.’
After further assessment of the weather conditions, the specialist teams involved in the lowering and subsequent transportation of the Sunborn floating hotel have decided to postpone the operation until tomorrow morning.
The PDP deeply regrets the latest escalation in the dispute over our territorial waters which occurred yesterday and was marked by the entry and presence of the Spanish warship P 64 Tarifa into our waters off the Eastern side of the Rock which continued for over 45 minutes. This is a serious further challenge to the sovereignty of our waters.
Only last week the PDP reminded the Government that Gibraltarians should not continue to be subjected to regular humiliation and the party has repeatedly encouraged the Government to impress on the British Foreign Office the importance of ensuring that the Governor has the necessary assets to enable him to fulfil his constitutional role namely the Defence of our sovereign territory. It is vital that the rule of law is not undermined throughout Gibraltar (including in its waters) and that our enforcement agencies including the RGP are able to carry out their role.
