European Commission, Calpe City, Med Dance School
from Gibraltar Today
The Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister have arrived at the European Commission in Brussels, ahead of the meeting to discuss the progress towards a UK-EU treaty for Gibraltar. They will meet UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares, and European Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič. Mr Albares spoke to the press ahead of the meeting: he said Spain had put forward solutions that were fair, just and good for both Gibraltar and the Campo. He said he did not, for Spain's part, see obstacles towards advancing to an agreement. We spoke to our news editor Christine Vasquez live from Brussles. A month or so ago, Calpe City issued a press release announcing the closure of the club. Calpe alleged Europa Point, with whom it had an agreement, had failed to fulfil its obligations, leaving Calpe no option but to shut down operations. Since then, they've been liaising with the Gibraltar Football Association and seem to have come to an encouraging compromise. Calpe City president Seamus Byrne and GFA youth football coordinator Tiago Lino Da Costa joined us in the studio. And, the Global Dance Open is one of the fastest growing dance competitions worldwide with the 2024 edition set to take place this summer. Over 35 countries have held their respective qualifiers over the last few months to determine their entries in July's finals. Gibraltar held their qualifier earlier this month, in which an impressive haul of medals were won by the Mediterranean Dance School. Head coach Genyka Celecia, alongside two of her students, Lewis Llamas and Jayce Caetano, told us more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
