The GSD has said that the Government’s suggestion that anyone within the GSD is targeting Mrs Hernandez with a vendetta is “nonsensical”l and just another “smokescreen behind which the Government is seeking to hide, in order to avoid dealing with matters of public interest in an open and transparent manner.”
The GSD says it does not understand how Mr. Picardo can possibly claim to be “struck by the overwhelming support” that there has been for the consultation exercise on whether Gibraltar is to join Schengen and the Customs Union. All it has done, says the Opposition, is just “add to the uncertainty and insecurity facing this community” at this present moment in time. Uncertainty, which the GSD argues Mr. Picardo is “personally responsible for creating” in other areas, such as the handling of public finances and the way he has handled the fishing, dispute for “no gain to this community.” The GSD says it cannot remember a Chief Minister being responsible for creating “so much uncertainty and insecurity through what he has said and done in such a short period of time since he took office.”
The Government has said that it is “incredible” that the GSD continues in Opposition to pursue what it calls a “grossly unhealthy vendetta” against Joanna Hernandez.
