“I want a legal referendum, this is what I will try to get the necessary rights from the Scottish people in May”, Yet on Sunday, the independence leader’s house kept circling, as far as a reluctance to stay away from the Catalan-style coup, and everyone was anxious to avoid that the liberation process could be challenged again in court.

“Plan B”
