Escocia en crisis: ¿crece el deseo de independencia? | DW Documental

The United Kingdom is going through a severe economic crisis, and the Scots dream of independence. Despite the failure of the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish government continues to fight for secession from the United Kingdom. Many Scots support this policy of Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. For example, the musician Neil Mackay is one of the most persistent independence activists. Mackay organizes large demonstrations in which thousands of his compatriots demand Scotland's secession from the United Kingdom. The explosive rise in energy and food prices is severely affecting many people from the Highlands to Edinburgh. One of them is Sandra MacPherson. This single mother has no choice this winter but to choose between "heat or eat." A harsh lesson for her children. While supporters of independence blame London for the crisis, their opponents point the finger at the Scottish government. Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon has already announced a new independence referendum, although the legal situation is uncertain. At the end of November 2022, the UK Supreme Court ruled that a new referendum could only be held with the consent of the British government. Like Brexit, the independence issue is dividing the country. #dwdocumentary #documentary #scotland #unitedkingdom DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
