Heritage is an essential cornerstone of any society. The buildings that have withstood the test of time, bearing witness to countless societal shifts, are like time capsules brimming with stories that shape the very essence of a community. The Gibraltar Garrison Library is one such place and, as it marks its 230th anniversary, being a...

By Robert Vasquez I believe in ‘FACTS’, Fairness, Accountability, Community, Transparency and Stability. My manifesto deals with many issues. They can all be found published on Llanito World on Facebook and at www.gibnews.wordpress.com. If you vote for me, you will get all that and more. I am fighting this election campaign alone and for the...

By Damon Bossino Our opponents are bereft of ideas. They have run out of energy and more worryingly, credibility. They know this to be the case and this is why they are resorting to the sole weapon they have left in their armoury and that is to instil fear on the issue of Brexit and...

By Sir Joe Bossano Our 2019 policy to reorient our economy shows that since Brexit, our bilateral trade with UK has more than doubled and now stands at £6.6 billion. We have taken what is happening in the global economy into account in the National Economic Plan and ensured it will enable us to deliver...

I didn’t listen in full to Suella Braverman’s now infamous speech on the failure of multiculturalism last week. Mostly because I don’t think a soul with any sense of humanity can endure forty-five minutes of extreme right-wing rhetoric. I did listen to some of it though, just to check. Not because I was shocked by...

In a series of themed articles, the Chronicle is asking the GSLP/Liberals, the GSD and the Independent Social Democrat candidate for their thoughts on some of the most pressing issues facing Gibraltar. In this second instalment, they explore Gibraltar’s public finances which are under huge strain. Irrespective of the different views as to the underlying...

By Dr John Cortes Politics, of course, was not my original career. If I’d had the opportunities young people have today, I’m sure I would have gone for the Performing Arts. If while at school there’d been the number of dance and acting schools and academies we have now, my life would have been very...

By Joelle Ladislaus 08:14a.m on a Monday morning, and my finger hovers over the call button on my phone. I press the button just as the time shifts to 08:15a.m… a few seconds too late and I am caller number 49. I may not get that appointment with the doctor today, despite the fever that...

By Felix Alvarez One word. One shape-shifting word at the centre of what we don’t much want to see. Yet there’s something vital and unshakeable in us that calls us to respond to vulnerability. Perhaps because we know it will be us one day. Perhaps because we agree with John Donne: no [wo]man is an...

By Professor Daniella Tilbury Change is coming and it is not surprising that many of us want a fresher, more engaging and yet accountable government. We deserve better and Gibraltar can open up to a world of possibilities under the right political leadership. This would require a government that recognises and brings us together regardless...

By Leslie Bruzon As I embark on this new journey into frontline politics, I want to share my story and the motivations behind it. For many years, I have been involved in the Liberal Party, working with Dr Joseph Garcia behind the scenes and as an election agent in 2011 and 2015. I am someone...

In 1900, just over 123 years ago – so in relative terms not that long ago - every person, then referred to as “aliens”, who entered Gibraltar (and this also included servants from the surrounding area and their permits) had to obtain a ticket at the GATE from where he or she entered the Rock...

By Pat Orfila I am Patricia Orfila – everyone calls me Pat. I am a mother to Cathy, a retired teacher, and a dedicated public servant. Life is all about the decisions we make. I was raised, with my brothers, by my mother in a flat on Lime Kiln Road. When our father abandoned our...

By Edwin Reyes The GSD is seriously committed to the concept of modern apprenticeships and we believe in the need to offer more in this field than what Gibraltar currently provides. Those pupils who do not wish to pursue an academic future need to be provided with opportunities through modern apprenticeship programmes which, if properly...
