International law expert Pedro Trovão do Rosário analyzed on the CNN Domingo program the intention of the leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to meet on Monday to debate a possible exit from the United Kingdom. The expert stated that there are a series of European monarchies that are effectively in disintegration, suggesting that the independence phenomenon is not exclusive to the United Kingdom.
The leaders of the three nations that make up the United Kingdom intended to collectively discuss the terms of a coordinated exit from the European Union, at a time when Brexit continues to generate internal political tensions. This meeting represents an attempt to present a unified position regarding the exit process from the European bloc.
Pedro Trovão do Rosário commented on the legal and political complexity involved in the eventual dissolution of the United Kingdom, warning about the challenges that such a process would bring to international law and to the relations between the states involved. The expert's analysis comes in a context of growing independence pressure in the different British regions.
