The Governments of Gibraltar and of the Falkland Islands have reacted to the meeting and joint press conference that took place in Buenos Aires yesterday between the Foreign Minister of Argentina Susana Malcorra and the Caretaker Foreign Minister of Spain Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo and issued a joint statement arguing that the wishes of the people of both territories “must be paramount.”
In what marks the start of a campaign to bring together Gibraltar’s key representative and civil society organisations, the newly formed ‘Gibraltar Stronger In Europe’ board met today with the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo, Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia and the Leader of the Opposition Daniel Feetham, who, in their capacities as party leaders, have confirmed their wholehearted support for the Stronger In Campaign.
The Government says that it is firmly of the view that to issue new business licences to trade in tobacco, by way of wholesale and/or retail, “may pose a serious reputational risk to Gibraltar and may have a negative impact on the day to day lives of those living and working in Gibraltar.”
The Government says that the “astonishment” of the Opposition at the success of the Government and Gibraltar Tourist Board in attracting major international airlines to increase their services to Gibraltar “is revealing of the Party’s lack of vision for and understanding of the tourist industry.”
