Albert Isola – the Minister with responsibility for Financial Services - was this afternoon interviewed on the Sky News Business Bulletin programme and asked for his views on the Eurozone relating to Greece and moves by the European Central Bank.
The GSD notes that, days after his confirmation in Parliament that there is a significant problem with Government over-spending, Mr Bossano, the Minister for Inward Investment, “continues to raise serious doubts about the state of Government finances.”
This is the full text of the speech delivered by the Chief Minister in Madrid earlier this week.
