EUROPEAN independence movements are closely watching developments in Scotland’s battle to leave Westminster behind.
Observers from the Basque Country, in the north of Spain, and Catalonia, in the east of the country, have said they followed closely the Supreme Court case last week, with one member of the European Parliament describing it as an “example” for others.
Jordi Sole, an MEP for the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (the Republican Left of Catalonia), said he and fellow Catalan independence supporters had been following the case.
