New British Prime Minister provokes referendum on Scottish independence
New British Prime Minister Liz Truss, with her own provocative behavior, risks igniting waves of mass protests in Scotland.
Russian historian and political scientist, Doctor of Political Sciences, Director of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Gromyko stated this at a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The election of Truss and, perhaps, the disdain that she can express no worse than Johnson towards the regions of her country, as she expressed towards “separatism”, which is most developed in the United Kingdom in Scotland, will only play against the unity of the country .
We know that [Scottish First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party] Sturgeon intends to push through a second independence referendum in 2023. London has the opportunity to prevent this. Without the legal consent of London, the central government, this kind of referendum cannot be held, but everything depends on the balance of power,” the expert said.
“If there are any massive social disobedience and outbursts of discontent in Scotland, then it will be very difficult for London to resist this referendum. I think that the election of Truss can add points to the arsenal of Scottish nationalists,” predicts Gromyko.
