(Corsicainfurmazione.org, Unità Naziunale, publié le 14 septembre 2026) Les dirigeants de Plaid Cymru, du Scottish National Party (SNP) et du Sinn Féin ont signé une déclaration commune réaffirmant le droit de l’Écosse, du Pays de Galles et de l’Irlande du Nord à déterminer démocratiquement leur propre avenir.
Les trois formations affirment vouloir renforcer leur coopération autour d’un objectif partagé : donner davantage de pouvoir aux nations et permettre à leurs populations de décider elles-mêmes de leur avenir politique.
Selon le mémorandum, la situation politique évolue profondément dans les îles britanniques. Les trois nations disposent désormais, pour la première fois selon les signataires, de Premiers ministres issus de partis engagés en faveur de leur indépendance vis-à-vis du Royaume-Uni. SNP, Plaid Cymru et Sinn Féin considèrent cette convergence comme un signe d’accélération du changement constitutionnel et dénoncent le droit que Westminster s’arrogerait de bloquer l’expression démocratique des peuples.
L’accord prévoit une coopération accrue sur l’économie, la réduction des inégalités, les énergies renouvelables et les relations européennes. Les trois formations affirment que l’avenir de leurs nations appartient à l’Union européenne, tout en reconnaissant que chacune déterminera son propre avenir selon ses propres modalités et son propre calendrier. Elles appellent enfin le gouvernement britannique à se préparer à faciliter les changements constitutionnels et défendent un futur fondé sur l’égalité, le respect mutuel, la coopération et la capacité de chaque nation à parler en son propre nom.

Le communiqué : Memorandum of understanding in full
Scotland, Wales and Ireland have distinct histories, identities and political traditions.
Each of our nations has the right to determine its own future, through democratic means and in accordance with the wishes of its people.
Today, Plaid Cymru, the Scottish National Party and Sinn Féin are coming together to reaffirm our commitment to working constructively with one another in the shared interests of our people.
We share a belief that the nations and communities we represent deserve greater ambition, greater economic opportunity and a stronger voice in determining their own futures.
The political landscape across these islands is changing.
For the first time ever, people across these islands have First Ministers in Scotland, in Wales and in the North of Ireland who are all committed to independence from the United Kingdom. For people watching across these islands – for people watching around the world – there could be no clearer sign that Westminster’s time is coming to an end.
We believe there is a better way: nations working together as equals, sharing ideas and expertise, and building relationships based on mutual respect and common interests.
Momentum is behind our movements; we believe that constitutional change is coming.
We therefore commit to strengthening cooperation between our parties and identifying practical areas where working together can make a real difference.
These include:
A stronger, fairer economy: Sharing ideas and experience on how to build productive, prosperous economies that create good jobs, tackle inequality and ensure that wealth and opportunity are spread more fairly. We reject Whitehall’s broken economic model and will instead build economies which deliver social justice and reduce inequality across our nations.
Expanding our own energy resources, particularly our vast resources of renewable energy, to bring down bills for families and businesses. The energy wealth of our nations should serve the needs of our people.
Europe and international cooperation: Brexit has damaged our economies, and limited opportunities for our people. Europe is our common home, and we believe the future of our nations belongs in the European Union.
We believe the future of our nations belong in the European Union. We want to work together to rebuild and strengthen those European relationships, creating greater opportunities for trade, investment, culture and cooperation.
Our nations have the right to self-determination. No Westminster government has the right to block democracy or undermine the principle that our people will decide their own future.
We recognise that our parties have different constitutional positions and that each nation will determine its own future in its own way and in its own time.
What unites us is a determination to ensure that the voices of our nations are heard, that our people have the opportunity to thrive, and that cooperation between Scotland, Wales and Ireland can be strengthened.
We call for the British Government to prepare for, plan and facilitate constitutional change in each jurisdiction.
The future should be one in which our nations can cooperate confidently, speak for themselves and build relationships with one another and with the wider world based on equality, respect and mutual benefit.
Today marks a further step in building that cooperation.
Signed:
SNP leader John Swinney
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth
Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill
