Beware the tripartite talks do not become a Trojan horse, says Joe Caruana
|
The chairman of the integration with Britain movement, Joe Caruana, says Gibraltar should beware the tripartite talks do not end up being a Trojan horse.
He says so in a PANORAMA interview by Brian McCann.
He had been asked: Do you think the Chief Minister has called his Spanish counterparts ?psychotic??
Mr Caruana replied: Well, I am sure he hasn?t - though by his own reasoning he should have.
It appears that he finds his Spanish counterparts to be sober and friendly ? and nice; and I am sure they are nice people. However beware of Wolves in Sheeps? clothing!
He added: Now, I have said that the people fear a Trojan horse ? a gift given by the Greeks to Troy and inside the big wooden horse was an army that infiltrated and captured Troy - and we have to beware that the tripartite talks in the end are not a Trojan horse. Why do I say this? Am I psychotic, hostile or am I mental? I may be. No I, like the majority of Gibraltarians, am distrustful - that?s all. We are not enemies, but are entitled to be suspicious.
He also says: But why are we bending backwards so much to do an Airport Deal, the Done Deal? Why are they buttering up the CM so much?
He goes on to say that Sr Pons, the Spanish negotiator, in his letter to the people of Gibraltar, was saying the same thing: That we have to forget about the past, we have to forget all Franco did to Gibraltar, all the names they?ve called us, and on top of it, Sr Pons even talked about the Reconquista of Gibraltar, and said the land on which the airport is built, (where he expects a deal to be made), is Spanish property. It does not come under the Treaty of Utrecht and he expects it will be Spanish soon.
