Gibraltar re elects left leaning govt
(MENAFN- Arab News) MADRID: Voters on the disputed British colony of Gibraltar have re-elected Fabian Picardo's left-leaning coalition in parliamentary elections.

Picardo 43 was first voted in as chief minister in 2011. His government has concentrated on trying to improve health and education services and boost the local economy which is based on shipping financial services and tourism.
Gibraltar located on Spain's southern tip is a multicultural British outpost of 30000 people.
