Eskoziaren independentzia

Sturgeon: "Conservatives are afraid, because they know that when they give us the opportunity, we will choose independence."

  • The Scottish Prime Minister, who called in December for the powers to convene the second referendum on independence in Scotland, officially replied to the British President: He has denied him the competences. The answer comes after the march in Glasgow, which has brought together 80,000 people in favour of independence.

The Scottish Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has received the response announced for this Sunday. Johnson has said that in the 2014 referendum citizens decided to stay in the UK and that now is the time to work together to “develop all the power we have.”

On social media, Sturgeon has responded that conservatives are afraid, “because they know that when they give us the opportunity, we will choose independence. They are denying democracy, they are not going to support it.” Before the end of the month, he added, the next steps will be announced, “and we will again submit to the Parliament of Scotland to defend the right to decide our future.”

They've taken the streets

Convened by the popular movement All Under One Banner, eight pro-independence marches have been announced for 2020 and the first took place last Saturday in Glasgow. 80,000 people took to the streets, according to the organizers. Its objective is to increase the citizen’s pressure for independence.
