The ‘in principle’ New Year’s Eve pact with Spain has also received the support of former Chief Minister Peter Caruana and other leading lights in the community.

FIDE and the organizing team of the Women s FIDE Grand Prix in Gibraltar have decided to re-schedule the competition to a later date.
The decision is taken in response to the development of the coronavirus pandemic in Gibraltar, where, unfortunately, the number of cases has increased significantly in recent weeks. In view of this, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo announced a new lockdown on January 2, which will be in place until at least January 16. During his press conference, Mr. Picardo said that the numbers of new infections with Covid-19 in our community are remarkably high and concerning.
