The head of the Scottish government, Hamza Yusuf, begins a visit to Brussels aimed at building relations with the European Union, which the leader of the Scottish National Party hopes to join one day at the head of an independent state.
The visit of the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) comes two days after a conference held by his party and devoted to the issue of independence, during which he announced that he wants, if he wins the next general election, to pave the way for Scotland’s future accession to the European Union and to send a representative to Brussels.
The 38-year-old leader said in a statement that Scotland had been pushed out of the European Union despite its vote to remain.
