Defenders of Gibraltar continue to raise concern of incursions to the Governor
On Thursday, 19th January 2017, the Defenders of Gibraltar represented by its Chairperson Anne-Marie Struggles, Committee Member, Nadia Esserti and it's Press Officer, Ellie McCauley-Cummins met with His Excellency Lieutenant-General Edward Davis. CB CBE Governor and Commander-in Chief Gibraltar, at the Convent.
A full and frank discussion on both sides ensued. Anne-Marie Struggles voiced her concerns about the continued 'bullying' from Spain, not least the escalating Spanish incursions which place residents of Gibraltar and their families in danger at sea.
His Excellency acknowledged that these incursions will continue to be monitored vigorously.
His Excellency also acknowledges the possible upcoming problems that may occur at the Border when the new amendment to the Schengen Border Code requiring tighter Border controls come into effect in March.
All parties acknowledge that what happens at that time could be a clear indication of the future post Brexit Gibraltar and that the situation will be monitored closely
DoG also stressed the need for clearer communications from the FCO where possible.The Defenders of Gibraltar are pleased to confirm that they continue to grow in strength with Committee Members based in the U.K. working closely with all MPs and updating them on the situation in Gibraltar

One of our biggest concerns for us as a people is ensuring their safety and security at sea. So we urge everyone who experiences or has experienced any harassment at sea - to email us at defendersofgibraltar@gmail.com and to write a letter to the Governor too!
This is the only way we can ensure our safety and those of our families.
Here are some links to remind us of some known issues:

Our Chief Minister is dealing with Brexit and ensuring that UK Government take into consideration Gibraltar in their negotiations in leaving the EU. This is not an easy task for sure but we will survive whatever comes as we are a strong people and determined to survive as Gibraltarians.
Never underestimate the passion of us as a people! Our history of over 300 years is proof of that - with and without an open border!
We will never negotiate our identity!
Anne-Marie Struggles
