The Government of Gibraltar has expressed its satisfaction at the defence of Gibraltar and its people by Prime Minister David Cameron in London yesterday, after meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Speaking from London, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said the Government and people of Gibraltar were delighted to see the robust approach taken by the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary in the face of the intransigent Spanish insistence on the anachronistic claim over the sovereignty of the Rock and the clamour for the revival of the “dead and buried” Brussels Process.

Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said; “David Cameron gets it, knows what the issues are and he does Gibraltar proud in the way he portrays diplomatically and clearly Gibraltar’s position to the Spanish Government.”
