Opinion by MARLENE HASSAN NAHON, leader 'Together Gibraltar'
The Chief Minister is in no position to say that Together Gibraltar is trying to start a dangerous drugs experiment on the Rock. Maintaining the status quo and conveniently brushing serious issues like these under the carpet by twisting what has been said is what is dangerous and irresponsible. It is through constant close contact with recovering addicts that we have first-hand evidence of this portfolio not being given the importance it deserves, and that as a result, many people in our community are suffering daily.

Opinion by the GGCA
Every year, following the announcement of the Budget, civil and public servants are usually granted a ‘cost of living’ rise in salary. The idea behind this is that income should rise in accordance with inflation – when the RPI increases and salaries stay stagnant, over time, employees’ salaries begin to depreciate. The cost of living raise guarantees that civil and public servants’ income is protected against inflation and it means that salaries, following the raise, in effect retain the same purchasing power.

Homes in these estates were sold to purchasers at cost price, that means the cost to build the property, without factoring in the value of the land or the relevant infrastructure. Therefore, the cost to purchasers was well below the market value of these properties. Read more

It is common to come across sites on the Internet where reports have been put together by Spanish intellectuals on the subject of Gibraltar. Reports which speak of the toxic influences of the Rock on Spain and describing us as upstarts who need to be put in our place; whilst at the same time urging the Government of the day to take the dispute to International forums and tribunals, with a strategic option to be followed over the coming years. For if nothing concrete is done in the meantime, it is feared they run the risk of an event such as the UK`s exit from the EU, or a change of tack in the UN`s position on territories pending decolonisation, as taking over the initiation dictating of Spain’s policy.
