The Government has issued a statement today, categorically denying what it has said are unsubstantiated reports in the Campo Area publication Europasur, regarding her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar “exerting pressure on the company running the Sunborn floating hotel to dismiss Spanish nationals”.
An anonymous Spanish worker, going by the initials J.L is quoted as saying it is a “great injustice” that HMGOG is carrying out a concerted campaign to reduce the number of Spanish workers in Gibraltar. He goes on to say that British, Russian and Ukrainian employees are not affected.
