Sep 02 - Spanish Man Carries Cross in Protest Over Gibraltar Spain Dispute
Spanish national Justo Marquez travelled to Gibraltar this weekend carrying a 10kg cross, in order to request God’s intervention of the on-going dispute between Gibraltar and Spain. Press reports claim that the 50-year-old man is unemployed and planned to spend 24 hours in Gibraltar praying and fasting.
Sr. Marquez carried the cross on his back for four day before he arrived in Gibraltar. His pilgrimage began in Malaga. From there he walked, carrying the cross as well as a baguette and a bottle of water.
The long established Gibraltar Chronicle has, and will always be, the cornerstone of GIbraltar's media. The newspaper has been around for so many years, covering all the news and events for GIbraltar. Like any good media outlet though, it receives it's fair share of abuse, criticism and sometimes even a little bit of ridicule. But maybe not for long… 
Following the meeting between Chief Minister Fabian PIcardo and David Cameron held earlier today, a statement released by Number 10 insists that the men discussed ‘the unacceptable delays at the Spanish/Gibraltar border and agreed that these are damaging to the people and economies of Gibraltar and Spain. They agreed that efforts should remain concentrated on finding a diplomatic solution, in line with the Foreign Secretary’s proposals last year for ad hoc dialogue’.
