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”).
Tabled before the Development and Planning Commission this morning, the Government’s Aerial Farm ‘affordable housing scheme’ was dubbed by some members as ‘harsh’ and ‘old fashioned’. Towering at 15 stories, the two blocks are currently in the early stages of development, and are set to include 38 one-bedroom apartments, 166 two bedroom apartments, 321 three bedroom apartments an 39 four bedroom apartments.
At about 11pm in the evening of Sunday 20th October 2013, a young female was sexually assaulted whilst in the stairwell of Lavender Court, in Sir William Jackson Grove [Gib 5].
Police are keen to speak to a male person believed to be in his early to late 30’s who was in the area at the time. This person may be able to assist police with inquiries. He is described as being of medium build, slightly tanned, with a break to the hairline on the left eyebrow, with a muscular upper body and was at the time wearing light coloured trousers (Chino style) with a light coloured t-shirt or polo shirt.
The GSD has today said that the Government cannot continue to equate the comments it may make of their handling of the current crisis with Spain, with criticisms of Gibraltar. They are not the same.
The GSD warns our community against the clearly manipulative way in which the Government has attempted to distort what the Leader of the Opposition has said in his statements and sees this as another example of a Government more interested in distortion and manipulation than substance.
The fact is that the GSD and its Leader, Daniel Feetham, have criticised the Spanish Government for their recent campaign against Gibraltar on numerous occasions describing that campaign as immoral, unjustified and illegal. It repeats the same point today especially in the light of the recent actions at the frontier.
