In a statement today, Friends of the Earth Gibraltar Branch say that they have started on a series of meetings introducing the Group to various organisations on the Rock .
In the statement, Lyana Armstrong-Emery, the former leader of the Reform Party of Gibraltar, and Co-Ordinator of the new Gibraltar branch of the environmental pressure group says:
“The main purpose of this is to explain the group’s aims and to explore to what extent co-operation to achieve them is possible.
These include political parties, pressure groups and other associations on the Rock.”
Ms Armstrong-Emery confirmed that all political parties will be involved “not just the two they have had talks with already”.
Included in addition will be NGO’s such as Environmental Safety Group (ESG) and GONHS (The Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society), with whom Ms Armstrong-Emery and her colleagues have had good relations in the past in what she described as their “previous situation” referring to the now disbanded Reform Party.
