Scotland's First Minister is set to deliver a speech advocating for independence at a rally in Edinburgh. Humza Yousaf will address the audience outside Holyrood, emphasizing that Scotland can find its way back by rejoining the European Union. He will criticize Brexit as a "national tragedy" and appeal to Europeans who have settled in Scotland.

Yousaf is expected to say, "The fact that it was forced upon Scotland against our will also makes it a democratic disgrace." He will also express gratitude to those who have come to Scotland from other countries, stating, "We could not be what we are today without you and for as long as I can do anything about it, you will always be welcome here."

The First Minister will speak at the rally following a Believe in Scotland march from Edinburgh Castle. Other Scottish Government ministers, Lorna Slater and Jamie Hepburn, will also deliver speeches at the event. Yousaf will criticize the UK Government, stating that independence will allow Scotland to correct the historic wrong of Brexit. He will argue that Westminster is leading Scotland down the wrong path, and by taking control of their own future, Scotland can get back on track.

Yousaf will highlight the benefits of independence, stating, "We can rejoin the world's largest trading bloc - one that is seven times larger than the UK by population. We can be at the top table of the EU as an independent member state, working in partnership with countries across Europe. We can - once again - be at the heart of Europe where we belong."

In response, a UK Government spokesman expressed the desire for both governments to focus on issues that matter to the people of Scotland, such as the economy and public services. They expressed willingness to work with the Scottish Government to tackle shared challenges.
