The Government says it notes, “with disappointment”, the European Parliament’s objection, today, to the entry into force of the European Commission’s decision to remove certain jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, from the EU’s list of ‘high-risk’ third-countries with strategic deficiencies as regards anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (“AML/CFT”).
GONHS has said that Opposition Leader Danny Feetham made an incorrect statement in yesterday’s interview on GBC. GONHS says that, during an interview on the proposed football stadium, Mr Feetham claimed that GONHS had previously “condemned and criticized” the building of a park at Europa Point from an environmental point of view, back when the GSD was in government.
The GSD says it is surprised that the Chief Minister does not have more important things to do with his time than to read messages sent by the Leader of the Opposition to his own party members adding that, if Mr Picardo spent less time on social media and on other trivialities and more time trying to attract inward investment, Gibraltar as a whole would benefit greatly. The GSD says that if it were not because the Chief Minister accuses the Leader of the Opposition of lying, it would “not even entertain a response to such pettiness.”
