Luke Stagnetto, who is the only Gibraltarian contesting the European elections, has made this firm pledge in Bristol during the launch of the Liberal Democrat campaign for the South West and Gibraltar Region.

Mr Stagnetto’s presence in the Liberal Democrat list attracted considerable media interest during the launch. Indeed, he made the point that his very presence is a testament to the determination of the Liberal Democrats to defend Gibraltar’s best interests and illustrative of their longstanding commitment to Gibraltar.

There are no other Gibraltarians standing in the European elections.

“It is imperative that young people should stand up and be counted. We, as a generation, voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. I stand here today, the youngest candidate at the upcoming election, as proof of the belief and commitment that the Lib Dems have in young people,” declared Mr Stagnetto in his introductory address.

He emphasized the point that a vote for the Liberal Democrats was a vote for him and “a vote to deliver for the Gibraltarian people.”

Mr Stagnetto will continue in the South West and return to Gibraltar next week in order to campaign here.
