“Oi que gana tengo de que venga ya el tiemp bueno pa la playa.” Oh, how I yearn for summer, we often hear declared at about this time, around these weeks coming up now. Others will come up with the usual repeat of “Que llueva, que llueva, let it rain, que we need it.” And...

By Craig Sacarello The Opposition has been clear and consistent: we want a safe and beneficial Treaty to succeed, business wants it to succeed and the people of Gibraltar want it to succeed. But while Government has been consumed by defending itself and preserving its own political position, it has failed in its duty to...

The recent rains have been relentless, made all the worse when coupled with a rare wind direction. When I think of the south-westerly wind, the sou’wester, I image a giant spindly figure with tree-trunk legs and long fingers leaning over the roofs of Gibraltar and peeling back tiles to let the horizontal rain in. He...

By Albert Freyone I have read the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce interview on tourism and transport priorities for 2026, and I agree with one obvious point, improved border fluidity will bring more people into Gibraltar. That much is beyond debate. What is far less certain, and far more important, is whether we are actually ready...

The Alameda Gardens – have existed for over 200 years. This year it is 210 years old. The beauty of this garden is that it belongs to all of us – it is free entry and we can all make use of it and enjoy its surroundings – the tranquillity and beauty of its surroundings....

By Kaelan Joyce For the past few decades Gibraltar has enjoyed the benefits of living in a thriving economic bubble, blissfully oblivious to the realities of the wider world, but as society rapidly evolves and transforms into an increasingly complex and sophisticated interconnected digital ecosystem, we can no longer afford to do so. In my...

Evangelizing politicians often get lost in their own blurb. Embracing the cliches that, as exceptions, may prove the rule, but don’t form reliable or absolute guidelines in themselves. My enemy’s enemy is my friend and so forth. Older members of the community may have experienced the phenomenon whereby change often comes in sudden spurts rather...

Well yes, I think so, it’s been now almost a hundred offerings of this type of article in our daily (Monday to Friday now), Gibraltar Chronicle. So we kick off on a brand new year and looking back, flicking through some of those past editions of this column, it’s a little difficult to pick out...

By Nick Calamaro The £1.8 billion Pelagos Data Centre project represents the single largest foreign investment in Gibraltar's history. The government deserves credit for actively seeking to diversify our economy beyond traditional sectors and into high-growth areas. But by focusing on potential revenue for Gibraltar alone, and by refusing to share more details about the...

When Fabian Picardo MP said he would serve a maximum of three terms if ever he was elected Chief Minister, the public breathed a collective sigh of relief. At the time Gibraltar was in the grip of Peter Caruana torpor and were fed up with the same old faces getting the same old favours and...

By John Isola In the nine and half years since the EU referendum, barring the two-year period of the pandemic, Gibraltar’s economy has continued to grow, create jobs and generate revenues for Government. Many local companies selling physical goods took longer to recover from the lockdown than those in the pure service business but overall,...

Many years ago, I produced and presented a television series on GBC called ‘I was There’ where I chatted to people who had been witness to some of the most important happenings in the Rock’s history – the 1967 Referendum, the marriage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono – just to mention two. Events and...

“What are you reading right now?” is an inevitable question when I meet with some of my closest friends on a regular basis. All of us will pull out our phones, Kindles or books from our handbag and exchange titles and let the others read the blurbs on the back of the book to keep...

I’ve just finished my latest bedside read, great five-pages-and-snooze stuff, in a small edition to avoid being assaulted by the tome as I doze. It was Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass*. Suddenly, Alice’s stories seem more coherent than many of the events that have been floating past us on our screens...
