Members of the Europe for Scotland campaign will be in Brussels on Tuesday 23rd of June, the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum.
Though the scheduled sentencing of Peter Murrell is likely to dominate ‘Scottish news’ that day, the campaigners hope to promote reflection on transcending the constitutional crisis of the UK.
They state that ‘before the next major Brexit anniversary Scotland, Wales might very well claim their independence and re-join the European family of nations. Indeed, so too might England!
‘We will chair a roundtable debate in the European Parliament that will feature high-profile speakers from Scotland, England and Wales, as well as MEPs to discuss the implications of the Scottish and Welsh Parliamentary elections of 7 May and the wider constitutional crisis of the UK.
‘It will be an opportunity to remind MEPs that when it comes to the future of the UK and its place in Europe, Westminster is not the only place to pay attention to. In the wider context of the second Trump administration in the US, most people and nations in the UK are unhappy with how Westminster is run and would like to re-join the EU. And we remain confident that Scotland and the Scottish people should be leading the way’.
