Damon Bossino

Damon James Bossino is a Gibraltarian barrister and Member of the Gibraltar Parliament representing the Gibraltar Social Democrats. He is married to Rosa Arrimadas from Spain with whom he has three children (One of whom has severe mental disability).

Biography Damon Bossino was educated at Bayside Comprehensive School, where he was a contemporary of Fabian Picardo, the incumbent Chief Minister and leader of the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party. He studied law in England (Kingston University) and after completing his Bar Professional Training Course at the Inns of Court School of Law, he was admitted to the Bar in 1995 (England and Gibraltar).

Bossino was a candidate in the 1996 general elections by the Gibraltar National Party (GNP), at the age of 24, with many still recalling the concession speech delivered on behalf of the party the morning after the vote.

Bossino was appointed Deputy Leader of the GSD on 17 March 2014. He is opposed to the Brussels process and is an advocate of tripartite, open agenda dialogue with Spain, all of which, he has argued, were achieved in the context of the Trilateral Forum of Dialogue secured during the third GSD term. He is firm in his view that the sovereignty of Gibraltar is not a matter for negotiation with Spain.
