MEMBERS of the European Parliament will do “whatever it takes to keep the door open” to welcome Scotland back into the European Union, a German MEP has told delegates at SNP conference in Aberdeen.
At the Young Scots for Independence (YSI) conference fringe event entitled "Scotland in Europe: shaping an internationalist, progressive independent nation", Reinhard Bütikofer spoke of his and his colleagues' continued support for Scottish independence.
Bütikofer is a Member of the European Parliament for Germany and speaker of the delegation from the German Green Party. He also stressed that Europe is no longer paying attention to Westminster when it comes to Brexit.
