SCOTLAND’S minister for independence has said it is “not factually accurate” to claim this weekend’s Yes rally has been organised by SNP.
Now, as the first-ever Minister for Independence, Hepburn is set to speak at a rally.
He said: “I was very happy to accept the invitation, I was almost certainly going to come along to the march and rally, I have no aversion to them. “I think they've got an important place as part of political activism in terms of demonstrating the campaign is still there. That's particularly relevant for this one because clearly, we're still in a position where despite there being a pro-independence Scottish government, plus a majority pro-independence parliament voted for by the people, we still have a transient UK government who are denying the outcome of that election.
Hepburn said the alliance between Believe in Scotland and Yes for EU offers another reminder to the world’s media Scotland has not forgotten being “removed from the EU against its will and we're still campaigning hard to make sure through independence, we can re-engage withHe said: “The ultimate, and the most important thing we can be doing is going out to communities and engaging with those who we've got to persuade.
“Hopefully, an event like this could energise folk up and encourage them to do just that, to get out there and speak to the people we need to convince”.
