SDGG nearing agreement on balloon alternative

The Self Determination for Gibraltar Group has “practically agreed” on an alternative to the release of the 30,000 National Day balloons for National Day.

The Group is currently finalising the details of the alternative measure and will not make their decision public as it will work better as a surprise, SDGG Chairman Richard Buttigieg said yesterday.

However, Mr Buttigieg confirmed that doves painted in red and white will not feature in this year’s National Day festivities.

He added that video footage of past years’ balloon releases will be played on large screens around Casemates Square.
