Parties in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland "want to take advantage of Donald Trump's statements" about Ireland

CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 16:45

Leaders from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland expressed their intention to meet on Monday to discuss a possible exit of their respective territories from the United Kingdom. Analyst Helena Ferro de Gouveia commented on this intention on the CNN Sunday program.

The parties from these three territories intend to take advantage of Donald Trump's recent statements regarding Ireland. The article suggests that these statements have created political conditions that the regional leaders want to exploit.

The planned meeting represents a coordinated effort among parties from three nations that make up the United Kingdom to discuss the political future of the union. This initiative comes in a context of uncertainty about the cohesion of the United Kingdom.

Why this matters

Readers in the region are affected because this meeting could accelerate debates on independence in the various nations of the United Kingdom, potentially altering the political structure of Great Britain. Trump's statements about Ireland referenced in the article could influence the independence sentiment in Northern Ireland and Scotland, creating precedents for future popular consultations.

University of Coimbra: there is opposition to the advocates of rectoral continuity

The director of the Faculty of Law of Coimbra, Pedro Gonçalves, leads a list for the assembly for the revision of the statutes of the University of Coimbra, which advocates a model for the election of the next rector with greater representativeness. The vote is scheduled for October 20 and has at least one more list, led by vice-rector Luís Neves. The conflict centers on the election format: the General Council, with only 35 members, applies the old RJIES for the choice of the successor of Amílcar Falcão, while Pedro Gonçalves and other academics consider the closed model harmful to the institution and advocate a more comprehensive process.
