Independent Scotland welcome in EU.

AN MEP has said it’s a “definite yes” that an independent Scotland would be welcomed back into the EU – and he’s also suggested Nicola Sturgeon could be president of the European Commission.

Speaking as negotiations between
London and Brussels over a post-Brexit trade deal reached crunch point, Philippe Lamberts, a Belgian MEP and co-president of the Greens in the European Parliament told the Express: “There would be no obstacle for Scotland joining if the UK is no longer in the EU. And this time independence would be different, because in 2014 Scotland would have left the UK and the EU at once.

“I can imagine Nicola Sturgeon being president of the European Commission, she seems to be much closer to the centre of gravity of European politics than Boris Johnson is.”

Asked on whether an independent Scotland could join the EU, Lamberts said: “Yes, the answer is a definite yes.”




Great to see the EU now sticking the boot into the UK Government, which it now owes nothing to.
