Solidarity with Scotland: A message to the People of Scotland from Wales #indyref

Dear Scotland,

My name is Armon Gwilym and although I am Welsh I had the privilege of living in Scotland for nearly 10 years, from 1993 to 2003, where I met and worked with some amazing and fantastic people. In fact, I was living in Scotland during the referendum vote for the creation of the Scottish Parliament back in 1997, where I voted for the
new powers Scotland needed.

During my time there I work within both the public sector and the community and voluntary sector, working in the fields of community development and social justice to support and empower communities in Dundee, and throughout Scotland, with skills and knowledge to help them improve their own lives and their own communities.
Through this, I also worked in collaboration with other community groups and grassroots
organisations across the country to help improve the lives of people by making their case to, and influencing the Scottish Parliament and its policies regarding social justice, social democracy and anti-poverty agendas. And because of those experiences, meeting and working with some extremely capable and passionate people all over the country, making life long friendships, and my general experiences in Scotland, I can tell you, without question, that independence is the only viable option for Scotland today.

As a fundamental human right I believe that all people have the right to self determination, to have the opportunity and the power to change their communities and to build a positive future for everyone. Because only by having the power to, and control over their own resources, can any nation have the ability and the tools required to get to grips with and tackle the serious issues affecting their communities and peoples lives.

These opportunities don’t come along very often, and so I would urge all Scots to look at the facts, to look at the arguments, and hopefully vote the same way as millions of their fellow country men and women and vote yes. YES to a strong economic future, and YES to a new and vibrant Scotland.

So my message is simple, it’s your choice, it is your country, go for it Scotland!
All my best to you all
Solidarity
Armon Gwilym

200 firmas de empresari@s animan ao SI á independencia #indyref #business

Mais de 200 empresarios veñen de apoiar a independencia nunha carta publicada no Herald de hoxe, pedindo a Escocia liderar o camiño en contra da dominación económica de Londres na economía do Reino Unido.

Podedes ver aquí a lista completa dos asinantes:

Estas 200 firmas son unha pequena mostra das mais de 2500 empresas forman parte da organización Business for Scotland

Esta carta ven a ser a resposta a outra aparecida no día de onte onde 130 empresarios británicos amosaban a súa preocupación e mesmo animaban a un voto negativo. Esta carta foi recollida na prensa española, non así a de Business for Scotland.

A patronal británica (CBI) continua a ocasionar polémica ao participar activamente na campaña unionista logo de ter protagonizado unha dos episodios mais turbios en todo este proceso:

UNHA FAMILIA GRANDE, SOLIDARIA E INTERNACIONAL // A GREAT SUPPORTIVE AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILY

Non podo estar mais que encantada coa miña familia, porque non é fácil ter unha familia que comparta ideas, ilusións e reivindicacións e que nos momentos mais importantes ou mais complexos, ou mais intensos estean dia a dia, axudando, apoiando, animando... 

 

 

I couldn't be more delighted with my family, because it's not easy to have a family with whom to share ideas, hopes and vindications; a family who in the most important moments, or at the most difficult or intense times are with you, side by side, helping, supporting, encouraging...

A min se me cae a baba coa miña familia, porque eles son e levan sendo o noso grande apoio durante estes meses de traballo duro e solidario, os que estan aí para botar unha man, os que están aí para preocuparse de se descansamos ou de se precisamos algo, os que se ofrecen a participar da campaña, os que nos axudan a recoller sinaturas, os que nos mandan fotos porque non queren perderse este momento histórico, os que neste ano non puidemos compartir verán porque habia cousas mais prioritarias, e todos o sabiamos. 

I feel so delighted with my family because they have been our strongest support during these months of hard and solidary work; they have been there to lend a hand, they have been there to look after us or by asking if we need anything or if we've had a break, those who helped to collect signatures, those who sent photos because they wanted to collaborate and be part of this historic moment, those who we coudn´t visit this summer because there are more important priorities and all of us know it.

     

Grazas aos meus irmáns, aos meus curmáns, aos meus mellores amig@s, porque sen vós, o camiño sería cen mil veces mais difícil.

Thank you very much to my brothers and sisters, to my cousins and to my best friends, because without all of you the path would have been a hundred times more difficult.

Solidarity with Scotland: Message from Moravia (Moravané Political Party)

 

Dear friends,

The Moravané political party, fighting for self-governance of Moravia,within the currently heavily centralized Czech republic, while representing a nation, whose ancestry reaches back to the Great Moravian Empire of the 9th Century, as well as Margravate of Moravia in the Mediaval Ages, and Land of Moravia within the Habsburg Monarchy, takes a great example of the successful fight of Scotland for its own independence.

We strongly and unequivocally support the Scotland´s independence and hope that Scottish citizens expresses their inherent wish for independence.

Best wishes,

 Jiří PELKA

Scotland Decides (BBC): Salmond versus Darling 25th Aug 2014

Thank you so much to Peter Curran for this video

UN DEBATE IMPRESIONANTE #indyref #Scotland

Era o segundo debate, e un brillante Alex Salmond aproveitouno moi ben facendo unha apaixoada defensa dos servizos públicos e políticas de benestar social,  fronte ás consecuencias que teria voto negativo traendo mais recortes e políticas de austeridade impostas dende Westminster.

Tamén defendeu o seu permanente compromiso de apostar por un país sen armas nucleares de destrución masiva (Trident).E explicou con todo luxo de detalles as opcións sobre divisa que tería unha Escocia independente.


















Non houbo clemencia para un nervoso e tatexo Darling quen chegou a contadecir na estratexia de Better Together ao asegurar que Escocia si podería usar a libra. Durante case dous anos os unionistas veñen mantendo que Escocia non poderá usar a divisa esterlina, sendo mesmo criticados polos economistas que forman o grupo de traballo da Comisión Fiscal, nos que se atopan dous premios Nobel de economía.

O público tampouco tivo piedade con Darling (Laborista). O debate tiña lugar en Glasgow, feudo laborista que non perdoa a traición daqueles que dician defender á clase traballadora.

 

A pregunta da noite foi "Se estamos mellor xuntos, porqué non estamos agora xa mellor xuntos?"

O resultado do debate quedou reflictido na enquisa de The Guardian quen daba un 71% dos votos do público a Alex Salmond e un 29% a Alistair Darling.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/aug/25/scottish-independence-debate-alex-salmond-alistair-darling 

Alex Salmond facendo un alegato ao país que teñen que construir entre todos os partidos, organizacións e cidadáns e chamou a participación de tod@s no que xa ven sendo denominado #teamScotland; non esqueceu Salmond de lanzarlle invitación tamén a Alistair Darling a participar do mesmo. E con iso, o FM, gañou punto e partido. "Este é o noso tempo, o noso momento, aproveitémolo" Rematou Salmond. 

Mais se queredes, podedes ver o todo o debate e sacar as vosas propias conclusións:
