Scottish nationalists urge Spain to 'respect' Catalan vote

Members unanimously pass motion calling for the banned referendum earlier this month

GLASGOW: The Scottish National Party on Monday urged the Spanish government to "respect the overwhelming 'si' vote" in the Catalan independence referendum in a resolution at its annual conference.



Members unanimously passed the motion, which called the banned referendum earlier this month an "expression of the democratic will of the people of Catalonia."
