Keith Azopardi’s 2022 New Year address contained his oft-repeated reproaches of the Picardo administration: that it has “walked us to the political cliff edge of a no deal,” in the post-Brexit EU-UK negotiations for a Gibraltar accord; and liable for “the most reckless ratcheting up of public debt ever seen in Gibraltar’s history.” Read more
