A New Year Message in Solidarity

Even in these difficult times the start of a new year is a time of hope, a time to show solidarity with those who are seeking the right to choose self-determination in countries throughout Europe.

We are not isolated.  Whether in Catalonia, in Flanders, in Wales, in the Basque Country, in Veneto, in Scotland, in South Tyrol, in Sardinia, in Greenland, we have people with distinctive identities and cultures and interests who are seeking through non-violent democratic action the right to determine our own future.  We may have differences but we seek the power to nurture our cultures, economies and communities and that unites us.

Scotland and Wales both have major election in 2026 and we will all await the outcome with hope that parties supporting independence do well.

Another Europe is possible.
