(ANSA) – LONDON, June 29 – Nicola Sturgeon insists on the request for a second referendum on the secession of Scotland from the United Kingdom, after yesterday relaunching the road map for a hypothetical call of the polls on October 19, 2023, contesting the veto reiterated so far by the British central government of Boris Johnson who – constitutional rules in hand – has the last word on paper.
