The Government says that it totally rejects what it calls the “self-serving and untrue” version of events that the Guardia Civil Union AUGC has given of the incident that occurred at sea between the Royal Gibraltar Police and the Guardia Civil earlier this week.
The GSD has quickly replied in the latest series of exchanges on the planned LNG Power Station. The Opposition says that whoever writes Government press releases “either did not see the program in which the Leader of the Opposition answered questions from a panel of journalists or is happy to mislead people with the same sterile line that ‘Feetham doesn’t know what he is talking about’”. The party says that, just like with the issues surrounding public finances, where financial experts are expressing the same concerns as Mr Feetham, expert reports will demonstrate that Mr Feetham has been right all along: an LNG bunkering installation so close to densely populated areas is not safe.
The Government has said that the Leader of the Opposition “has once again revealed the hypocrisy and lack of substance of his position” on the planned LNG Power Station.
The Leader of the Opposition says he will be asking a series of questions next week in Parliament about the sharp increase in Nitrogen Dioxide pollution levels in 2014 compared to the position in 2013. He says that these increased levels have continued to be registered so far this year.
The Government says it has done more for education in three and a half years than the previous administration did in 16 years.
