The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo QC, has sent a letter of congratulation to Pedro Sanchez on being re-elected, after ‘a tortuous and fractious debate,’ as Prime Minister of Spain.
In his letter, Mr Picardo refers to the two men’s shared desire to look beyond ‘the eternal issue’ of sovereignty and he extends the hand of friendship on behalf of the people of Gibraltar.
He also offers his support for the promotion of ‘policies based on the principle of dialogue, understanding and co-operation between our respective people’.
