Nicola Sturgeon, Scottish Prime Minister, resigns. Since November 2014, the Scottish National Party (SNP) has led the Scottish government after the resignation of Alex Salmond. Report the decision at a press conference. He mentions the "barbarism of modern politics" as the reason for resignation, as can be seen in the Scottish nationalist newspaper The National. Sturgeon indicates that it will remain in the remote until you choose your replacement. "My mind and my heart tell me that long ago. It is the most suitable for me, for my party and for my people," he said.

The main objective of Sturgeon over the years has been to organise a second independence referendum, but it has failed to do so, although on many occasions it has asked London for authorisation. London has only given him negative, and according to the judgment of the UK Supreme Court, Scotland cannot be questioned without permission in London. This has made it difficult to achieve the Head of Government’s objective.

In addition, the trans-European bill approved by the Scottish Parliament has been debated in recent weeks. This project aimed to reduce the age of gender choice from 18 to 16 years, without the need for intermediate medical certificates. The bill caused division within the SNP and was blocked by the UK Government. However, Sturgeon points out that his resignation is not "a consequence of the pressure he has endured".
