ELECTION 2019
By ORLANDO YEATS, GSD candidate
There was a time in Gibraltar, during the period in office of the GSD, when it was normal to see information in the press about the estimated cost of official projects or the proposed investment in infrastructure by the Gibraltar Government. Questions were answered in parliament and in general terms the media had access to information and the possibility of printing stories which could be openly critical or unsympathetic of the administration’s management of public affairs.

Dear Sir,
Throughout the Tuna Fishing Season there has been the annual debate about the size of the quota and the way it is managed, the sale of catches and the lack of enforcement by the pertinent authorities in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW). There has been a focus on the continuing incursions by Spanish Commercial Fishing Boats, hailing from La Linea, by local commentators and political parties. Read more

After finding the determination to enter the world of Politics to try and add diversity to a divided “Party Politics atmosphere”, you again realise that the decision makers in policy making do not have sympathy for the weaker strata of society in many issues of life, including elections. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By JOHN CORTES, GSLP/Liberal Candidate
It’s so easy to forget. Eight years ago, we had highly polluting power stations, no sewage treatment plant anywhere on the horizon, no recycling of paper, cardboard or glass, monkeys all over the place, no large green areas in the city centre and some of our wildlife on the point of disappearing. And as far as Climate goes, the Government didn’t even want it mentioned. Read more

On the inside sleeve off my book “Memories bound up with life” is written; “at this moment I have felt inspired to wander back, rediscovering in the past a present to remember.” it has reminded me that looking back is healthy, because in so doing there are comparisons to be made between days gone by and now; comparisons which help us to see how far we have come on our journey through life; in the life of our small nation. In so doing, understand what strides we have made, but also what precious things have been lost along the way; like a code of conduct we all lived by which in modern times has lost its appeal, sadly. However, what I have found in rediscovering the past, is something that time has neither erased, nor been affected by the passing of the years; i.e. the determination of the Gibraltarians to live their lives as British citizens and survive any onslaught from Spain.

Dear Sir,
As as regular visitor to Gibraltar, I hear many complaints about traffic and roads. Local people are no exception, so this seems to be a problem afflicting many. Why is it that enough is not being done to correct such a visible problem? Read more
