Scottish Prime Minister Sturgeon has announced his resignation.
The British media have reported that the resignation of Mr. Sturgeon, who has appealed for Scottish independence for many years, will have an unavoidable impact on the independence movement.
Sturgeon announced at a press conference on the 15th that he will resign as prime minister of the self-governing government and leader of the SNP (Scottish National Party).
Mr Sturgeon became Prime Minister of the Home Government in 2014, when a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom was defeated in Scotland.
After that, when the UK decided to leave the EU, the demand for independence from the UK increased again, so Mr. Sturgeon planned to implement a second referendum, but the British government opposed it. , the Supreme Court also ruled that it could not be implemented.
Sturgeon said of his resignation, ``We decided that in order to solidify the movement to support Scottish independence, we needed to overcome the political divisions over independence, and that a new leader could do it.'' and
However, Mr. Sturgeon's influential successor has not been decided, and until it is decided, he will continue to be prime minister and leader of the party.
