Oct 20 - Picardo: “This Election Will Be About Two Competing Visions Of Gibraltar”

20 October 2015

- CM asks Governor to dissolve Parliament

- General Election set for Thursday 26th November

- CM says “two competing visions of Gibraltar” at the heart of this election

The Chief Minister met this morning with the Governor Alison MacMillan to advise her to dissolve Parliament and call a General Election on Thursday 26th November.

Mr Picardo said the election would be about “two competing visions of Gibraltar.”

One vision, he argued, represented “underinvestment, unnecessary austerity and cuts” whereas his Government stood for its opposite: “The reality of a growing economy, a growing GDP, growing investment in our community and reducing debt; a reality which is palpable all around us and which I have no doubt the majority will choose.”
