Scotland is preparing for a new referendum on the independence of the United Kingdom

The Chief Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has promised stimulate a second British referendum on separation for next year, you will need to ask permission from the British government "before the end of the year".

"My decision is that the referendum be held next year and we are getting ready," said Sturgeon during an exciting closing speech delivered before the Congress of the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) in Aberdeen.

The referendum law, which is likely to be approved in the last months of 2019, is being processed in the Scottish Chamber, but You need the British executive to access the transfer of powers, something that London has up here opposed.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson already excluded a negotiation with ScotlandAll indications are that Scotland's demand for independence will eventually be resolved by a court.

The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, scheduled for October 31, has not only plunged the country into the biggest political crisis of its recent history, but also opens the possibility for Scotland to hold a second referendum on independence, endorsed by the majority support of the SNP and the change in trend reflected by the surveys.

Johnson announced earlier this month that he would make a "thorough" effort to avoid the separation of the Scots and insisted that after the Brexit, there would be no reason for it anymore. to want to leave the UK because "they will receive financial support from the central administration".

The SNP is looking for a referendum like the one in 2014, the terms of which have been endorsed by the Conservative government's David Cameron and the nationalist Alex Salmond, as part of what's called "l & rsquo; Edinburgh Agreement ".

The consultation then ended with 55% of the population voting against independencefearing that separating from London would lead Scotland to a direct divorce with the community bloc.

What was conceived as a settled debate in 2014 resurfaced in 2016 after the Brexit victory, in a referendum held across the UK in which thethe majority of the Scots said it was against.

Sturgeon added that, if it were independent, Scotland would "be in the common European market" and would be "the nearest neighbor" of the United Kingdom, which would confer that liaison role between the two territories and would make it a "pole of attraction for global investments". ".

The latest surveys they throw 50% support for independence, which represents an increase of 5% over the 2014 result, while other figures predict that this percentage would increase if a Brexit was held without agreement.

According to some analysts, the secessionist trend is gaining ground and that the most apathetic Scots with politics and "Europeans" would support independence as a way to stay within the EU.
