Thousands of Scottish people took to the streets at the weekend to ask the European Union (EU) to "Leave a Light on for Scotland" because they want to stay within the European integration agreement.
As the UK confirmed withdrawal from the EU, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon reiterated that her government will demand that an independence referendum be held this year.
She will ask the Electoral Commission to pronounce on whether it would be appropriate to use the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?", which was already used in the 2014 pro-independence referendum, to convene a new popular consultation.
In the coming months, the Scottish Government will publish documents with the necessary information for people to take an informed position on the independence of their country.
In 2019, the Scottish Parliament passed a law that allows its compatriots to organize a referendum to decide on the permanence or separation of their country from the United Kingdom.
This decision will be inconsequential if the U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson maintains his refusal to transfer the legal powers that would allow a regional congress to make decisions like that.
