Welsh Independence Rally attracts hundreds in Cardiff

A Welsh independence rally, organised by All Under One Banner (AUOB) Cymru, attracted large crowds in the capital on Saturday. Speaking ahead of the event, Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price said that people were “waking up” to the idea that independence was normal.

He added: “The tide is turning, the marches are growing, and the voices are louder”. Campaigners gathered outside City Hall before marching through Cardiff.

As the march ended with a rendition of the Welsh national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, Adam Price, leader of nationalist party Plaid Cymru, said that Welsh problems could be more easily solved if decisions were taken within the nation.

“For many years, our desire to see an independent Wales has seemed distant. But the tide is turning, the marches are growing, and the voices are louder,” he said.
