Gibraltar’s New Movement has said that it is “extremely disappointed” by the comments made by the Governor when he described the 2006 Gibraltar Constitution as an ‘overreaction’ to the failed Joint Sovereignty talks.
The GSD notes the recent Alzheimer’s and Dementia Awareness Day in Gibraltar and the fact that the ‘Gibraltar Alzheimer’s and Dementia Society’ have been raising awareness all week to better inform the public of the impact this illness brings, to try and dispel some of the stigma surrounding it, how every year it affects more and more people and that the society has asked for Government to make Dementia a priority in the political agenda.
The Government says it takes note of the result of the Referendum in Scotland as a “true reflection of the will of the Scottish people” and describes it as a “tribute to the democratic traditions” of the United Kingdom that the people of Scotland were able to exercise their right to self- determination and freely to choose their future political status.
The Chief Minister indulged in “undignified gloating” following the announcement yesterday that the Chief Justice had dismissed claims against the Government made by the former GSD minister Louis Montiel. This is according to a letter from Mr Montiel, which was sent to the press earlier this morning. The case in question concerned his re-instatement as an employee of the Gibraltar Development Corporation.
