Feb 16 - Cross Frontier Group Rejects Cervantes Institute Closure
The Cross Frontier Group, constituted by both Union and Business organizations in Gibraltar and the Campo who aim to promote cooperation between the two communities have expressed ‘their most profuse rejection to the decision by Sñr. Garcia Margallo, Spanish Foreign Minister, to close down the Instituto Cervantes in Gibraltar.’
They further voice their protest ‘against the absurd measure, which goes totally against the founding spirit of [their] Group’.
‘In seems, that Sñr. Garcia understands the Instituto to be I a mere language school. This measure can only be explained by an understanding that Sñr. Garcia has a pathological obsession with Gibraltar, and aims to dismantle all the positive steps towards an understanding and cooperation, as encompassed within the Cordoba Agreement.’
