Robert Vasquez has been a lawyer for 43 years and will be running as an Independent Candidate. He recently resigned as an executive member of the GSD, and had contributed towards their manifesto.
PANORAMA asked how Robert felt, to which he responded by saying, “I’m feeling happy that I am progressing my desire to add to the democratic credentials that Gibraltar has by standing as an Independent. I fully appreciate and understand the difficulties that has because of the habit of block voting, but look, I think it’s time that people were given another chance to vote for somebody else.

John Charles Pons, a long time environmental activist, will be running for this year’s General Election on the 17th of October. He signed in Parliament on Tuesday, putting his name down with his friends and supporters.
With the environment a key issue to him, he told PANORAMA, “I am running for election because of the climate issue that we have around the world. I don’t believe enough is being done to tackle the climate emergency. I am heavily inspired by Greta Thunberg, Climate Change scientists have been researching into the subject for over 40 years and have said nothing, yet she, a 16 year old, comes out with all the facts about how things are. I am running to do something more serious than I was doing yesterday, and I am running for the environment, for the youth and for the youth’s future. Read more
