That's what the bank holiday was originally for, for the people of Gibraltar celebrating in what we truely believe in and celebrate we do!! I for one do not want to go to work at 7.30 am the very next day!!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

Other than the obvious that National day is way more important than GMF, my children won't be able to enjoy the fireworks as it's a school night!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

Because i do not think it is neither right nor fair that the bank holiday was moved in the first place, to accommodate the recovery of a music festival. It is a public holiday, bank holiday, Which has represented National Day, a day the whole nation participates in. Not an optional music festival.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

Bank holiday should be given after National Day(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#213
They should change the Bank Holiday as not everyone goes to the GMF and especially for young children have to start full days dat school on the 11th September(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

National day is for all the Gibraltarians. GMF is for a selected few. Not right(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#220
The point of the day was to celebrate the historic day of the referendum, not some trashy music festival.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

Bring back national day bank holiday for NATIONAL DAY WEEKEND(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#247
I do not agree or see it fair that extra day is for our national day celebration and should not be for the festival it's very annoying(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

National day is much more important than a music festival!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#251
It's the national day bank holiday- not the music festival bank holiday.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

I have had to take the 11th as a annual leave, this is a complete joke !!!National Day is our day !!
And for us and only us to celebrate it !
Why can Government, just make a quick dessition to quickly change the bank holiday, this should be iligal !!!
This is our day and night to celebrate and enjoy it to it's fullest without having to fear not to drink too much or not to go to bed late as there is school or work the day after this is a complete joke !
Either change the festival to the bank holiday of the 28th August next year and this year let the people of the GMF to book their leave !!!
This is soo unfair !!!!!!!!!!!
Try to keep people happy as you all say but there's some things you guys don't do right just because money talks....... ignorants ... all i have to say !

As it says, it is suppose to be a bank holiday for National Day.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#265
Put back our national day bank holiday to the day it us for on the day or after the day(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#267
National Day holiday should be for National Day and not for a private concert that half of Gibraltar's population are probably not even attending!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#281
I agree with all that has been said above , it is unfair that our gibraltar national day bank holiday is moved to gmf just for sake of getting people to buy the weekend pass and spend more money.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#286
I feel the public holiday should be for our National Day whoever wants to go to the concert can take a day off whoever changed the bank holiday has not thought about our youngsters that will be going to Monkey Rocks and then on the following day have to go to work or school(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#288
I don't go to the gmf why should I have a bank holiday then! Should be for national day(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#291
We should get the day after national day off not the day after the gmf(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#301
I strongly believe the holiday should be given the day after National Day(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#307
National Day Bank Holiday should take precedence over the music festival. It's all about who we are as a people!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#309
It's Gibraltar national day holiday not Gibraltar music festival holiday(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#312
If national day lies on a Sunday it's only appropriate to give the following day off, after all that's what we are celebrating and it's not fair on kids who would have to get up early for school. Those who do attend the gmf,take the following day off or else,go to work the following day, it's just like going out with your friends on a night out.(Gubraltar, 2017-08-16)
#314
I remember when the previous administration wanted to change the Bank Holiday, all hell broke loose. This is simply for the GMF. Well not everybody goes to the Music Festival and those who do can always take a day off work from their holiday quota. National Day has to have priority!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#315
Totally agree with this petition.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#324

#345
I am signing because it's our National Day is on the 10th and not on the 4th(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#346
National day is Gibraltar day therefore the bank holiday should be celebrated on this day not in favour of a music festival where most gibraltarians will not attend.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)
#349
I'm signing because the National Day holiday should be on the right day especially as it's the 50th anniversary(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
#353
Next day I am dead from all the celebrations, and I think national cay is more important than gmf(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
#354
National day is more importAnt than a music festival!(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
#355
Im signing because the gmf is utter crap they dont bring any artists with real talent and it cost the tax payers money(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
#358
I feel the same way as the author of this petition.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
#360
I agree that our National Day holiday is for all Gibraltarians and so people who are not going to GMF will be missing out on having a rest day after National Day celebrations because they are giving the rest day purposefully to those who are attending the festival. Those who want to attend the festival can do so and suffer the consequences of their late nights or hangovers if that is the case, but the National Day holiday should remain as what it is a NATIONAL DAY HOLIDAY and like that people can recover from celebrating that. That said some will no doubt use the holiday to make a long weekend in Spain .... tut, tut....(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)

The bank holiday should be after our National Day always and forever.(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)

#371

#372
I totally agree that it is more appropriate and relative to have the 11th sept as a bank holiday and not the 4th or both will do but given a choice definitely the 11th thank you(Gibraltar, 2017-08-17)
