The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has told an audience of Liberal Democrat politicians in Glasgow that Spain continues to bully and harass Gibraltar by land, air and sea. This followed the news that two Spanish fighter jets had come close to a commercial airliner in the airspace above Gibraltar.
The Opposition has said that the Government “has once more chosen to play the man and not the ball” in the latest exchange regarding the change to the legal aid rules.
The Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, leaves for Glasgow this weekend in order to attend the Liberal Democrat party conference. He will be accompanied by the Minister for Tourism Neil Costa and the Minister for Culture Steven Linares.
Following suggestions by the Opposition of ongoing problems at the Mons Calpe Mews site, including loud noise, the Government has stated that in the five months since work began on the site it is rare for individuals to work later than 8pm.
In the latest exchange over Gibraltar’s power generation and distribution problems, the Government has said that an internal expert report from 2005 urged the then Government to “act now” while warning that the existing attitude of “praying” and keeping their “fingers crossed” was not an option in relation to a network which was falling apart.
