The GSD notes today’s “Advertising Feature” in the Gibraltar Chronicle under the heading “Gibraltar wins €150m overnight investment, creating jobs and bringing new business”. It is not readily apparent to the GSD whether this is an advertisement on behalf of the Government of Gibraltar or by the private owners of the floating hotel. Whilst welcoming any investment to Gibraltar, the GSD has already expressed serious misgivings with regards to lack

Today is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, observed by countries all over the world. From United Nations conferences to outlawed demonstrations, today hundreds of events are taking place on all continents with 96 countries around the world participating, and Gibraltar is one of them.

The latest petty press release concerns the issuing of public statements after questions have been lodged by

We are delighted to announce that Elliott Phillips will be joining the GSD, and that following the unanimous decision of the GSD Executive, he will also be joining our Executive Committee.

Dear Sir It is very disappointing for the Minister for Education to allow the improper use of pupils’ time (and parents’) for party political purposes to forward the labour market ‘world view’, as seen by Minister for Employment, Training and Inward Investment, Mr Joe Bossano. On Wednesday 8 May, both Yr 11 pupils from Bayside School and later that evening, their parents, received a talk from educators about post-16 education,

The GSD Opposition has welcomed the announcement that refurbishment works at three housing estates, namely: Glacis, Laguna and Moorish Castle Estates is commencing. The GSD Opposition, however, notes that with the exception of the unfortunate plans to build extra floors, there is considerable overlap between what has been announced this week and what the Government announced last year in relation to these estates. “People want less photo opportunities, less spin
