Aug 08 - Landaluce Says Picardo “Misled” Him Over Fishing And Says Chief Minister Acts “Foolishly”

Jose Ignacio Landaluce, the Algeciras PP Mayor, has told Spanish media that, although he would like to find common ground between the Campo and Gibraltar, he will not tolerate what he terms “excesses” from the Government of Gibraltar.

Snr Landaluce also claimed that the Chief Minister had “misled” him over the fishing dispute by first promising to find a solution and then going ahead with the artificial reef which, he claims, endangers the livelihood of 300 fishermen. He also added that, although Mr Picardo’s predecessor Sir Peter Caruana was a “demanding” politician, he had at least “acted sensibly.”

Landaluce stated that, in his opinion, Mr Picardo was acting in a “foolish” and “uncontrolled” manner which he attributed to the fact that, or so he claims, the Gibraltar Government was made up of “a conglomerate of small parties each with their own agendas.”
