Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, indicated after the result of the EU Referendum in the United Kingdom on the 23 June 2016 that she intended to do everything in her power to keep Scotland within the EU. But how would other EU states react to the prospect of Scotland staying within the EU? Paul Anderson writes on the position of Spain, which is generally viewed as having a stake in blocking Scottish membership due to the existence of independence movements in Catalonia and the Basque Country. He suggests that it was unlikely Spain would block Scottish membership given the support for it in other EU countries, but that a Spanish veto cannot be ruled out. |
