Spanish vice president: 'There was no agreed referendum in Scotland'

The Spanish vice president, Carmen Calvo, believes "there was no agreed referendum in Scotland."

In an interview with the Catalan radio station RAC1, she did not give any more details on why she believes this to be so, but criticized the former UK prime minister, David Cameron, for allowing a vote on independence in Scotland.

"For Cameron, who will probably not go down in history as one of the best European leaders, not only did this situation get out of hand, but so did a bigger one," she said referring to the Brexit referendum and its outcome.

Edinburgh agreement between UK and Scotland governments

On October 15, 2012, the Scottish government and the UK government signed the so-called 'Edinburgh Agreement,' that specified the terms of the Scottish independence referendum.

The agreement was signed by the then British Prime Minister, David Cameron, the Secretary of State for Scotland, Michael Moore, the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and his then-deputy, Nicola Sturgeon.

The vote on Scottish independence was held on September 18, 2014.

Back then, Cameron said: "I always wanted to show respect to the people of Scotland. They voted for a party that wanted to have a referendum. I've made that referendum possible and made sure it's decisive, it's legal and it's fair."

No to Catalan referendum

During the interview, Calvo went on to reject once more the possibility for Catalonia to hold an independence vote claiming that it is not possible either in Spain or in other "comparable democracies."
