Apr 29 - PDP Welcomes Departure of Floating Hostel
The Progressive Democratic Party has welcomed the departure of the proposed Kalmar floating hostel, which left Gibraltar in Friday. The party insists that it was clear that the project, aimed at accommodating long term residents of Moroccan orgin, ‘ had not been thought through properly by the GSLP/Liberal Government, resulting in the wasteful expense of bringing the vessel to Gibraltar’.
The PDP are delighted that the Government have listened to the party’s concerns and taken the correct measure to send the floating hostel back to Rotterdam.
The PDP urge the Government to reject further temporary measures, which have so plagued these residents. They claim that It is wholly unacceptable that current and previous Governments have, after decades, still not found a definitive solution to house these Gibraltar residents of Moroccan origin.
