Leaders from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland sign memorandum for independence

Sábado13 September 2026 at 14:01

Leaders from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland signed a joint memorandum on independence. The meeting is scheduled for Monday and will bring together the three leaders of the nations that make up the United Kingdom.

The Welsh Prime Minister, Rhun ap Iorwerth, will meet with his counterparts from Scotland, John Swinney, and Northern Ireland, Michelle O'Neill. The three leaders represent regional governments that advocate for greater political autonomy within the United Kingdom.

The memorandum signed formalizes cooperation between the three territories on issues related to independence. This initiative comes in a context of growing autonomist movements in the nations that form the United Kingdom.

Why this matters

This event is relevant for readers in the region because it marks unprecedented coordination between the three devolved nations of the United Kingdom in the pursuit of independence, representing a potential turning point in the political structure of the country. It directly affects the citizens of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and comes after persistent independence movements, particularly in Scotland, and recent political changes in Northern Ireland.
