THE Alba Party have issued a statement after it was confirmed the party would not have a speaker at an upcoming
The full statement from Alba reads:"The organisation has claimed that Alba Party were asked to participate – in the knowledge according to them that if Alba Party did participate then the Scottish Greens would refuse to participate as they have a conference resolution mandate not to share a platform with the pro independence Alba Party – and that as Alba Party, they claim, did not respond they then invited the Scottish Greens.
"Believe in Scotland were advised that they would receive a response to the invitation after the next full meeting of the NEC. On April 6 the Alba Party NEC agreed the party would be happy to attend the event and that Kenny MacAskill would be the speaker on behalf of the party. The statement continued:"It is bizarre that Believe in Scotland would not allow a pro independence party to be part of its rally simply to appease the Scottish Greens."
"However, Alba’s framing of the situation as Believe in Scotland allowing the Scottish Green Party to block or exclude Alba from the event is just not accurate. There is no one to blame for Alba not being represented at the Believe in Scotland rally other than Alba itself.
