Independence campaigns in Scotland and Catalonia – siblings or distant relatives?
Pro-independence parties in Scotland and Catalonia have enjoyed success in recent elections, but how much do the movements have in common and where do they go from here? Lorcan Doherty is joined by Laura Pous, Business and International Editor at the Catalan News Agency (ACN), and Guifré Jordan, Deputy Editor of Catalan News, to compare and contrast the independence campaigns in Catalonia and Scotland. With contributions from Esquerra Republicana MEP Jordi Solé, Scottish National Party MP Gavin Newlands and University of Glasgow Lecturer in Politics Robert Liñeira.
