Government to meet directly with protester group on concerns

HM Government of Gibraltar wishes to acknowledge the letter presented to the Minister for Economic Development Sir Joe Bossano by the group that demonstrated on Saturday.

The Government also acknowledges receipt of a further communication from the group yesterday.

The Government will respond to each of the group’s wide-ranging concerns and will meet with the group in order to discuss each of them in detail, including questions and concerns regarding the proposed £1.5bn Data Centre investment.

The Government agrees that Gibraltar’s limited public land needs to be responsibly used to the best overall benefit for its people.

The Government's view, in particular, is that the people of Gibraltar want the land we have available to be used for housing for the people of Gibraltar.

That is what this Government has done and is doing.

The Government thanks all those who peacefully turned out to express their views and concerns, as is their right, and looks forward to the opportunity to discuss these directly with the organisers of the demonstration.
