ELECTION 2019
By ROY CLINTON, GSD candidate
The GSLP/Liberals during this election campaign will chose statistics such as debt to GDP ratios and official net debt numbers to claim that their management of debt levels is prudent and sustainable. This goes to the heart of the public finance debate and I need to explain why the GSD analysis differs so significantly to the GSLP/Liberal position. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By STEVEN LINARES, GSLP Liberal candidate
The GSLP Liberals have, while in Government, succeeded in defending Gibraltar’s interests in the Brexit context whilst continuing to successfully steer our economy to growth and focus on Gibraltar’s development as a world class events destination.
The Music Festival, Monkey Rocks, the Andrea Bocelli concert, join the Chess and Literary festivals as only some of the many events we now have on an annual basis, which are enriching the community and attracting business to Gibraltar too. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By Samantha Sacramento, GSLP Liberal Candidate
I am proud to belong to a party that has transformed Gibraltar. The changes in eight years are incredible, both in landscape as in philosophy.
The only problem with such tremendous progress is that it is easy to forget what Gibraltar was like before 2011. Our progress cannot be taken for granted because of this. Read more

Dear Sir,
The recent comments on GBC on longlining by a representative of the Federation of Sea Anglers cannot go unchallenged by those who have been using this method of fishing. Longlining has been a traditional fishing method in Catalan Bay since time immemorial. It has been sustainable over these many years and certain types of longlining are seasonal and geared towards different species. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By Paul Balban, GSLP Liberal Candidate
A great deal of difficult work has been carried out following the launch of the Sustainable Traffic Transport and Parking Plan (STTPP). Trying to improve our quality of life has required a challenge to the core of who we are as a people.
We love our cars, that is a fact. We have one of the highest vehicle ownership rates in the world, that is also a fact. Yet we are slowly seeing changes in the way that we move. Bus use has increased significantly and more people are walking and cycling to work and to school. Read more
