Get ready, folks! Thousands are gearing up to rally in Rhyl on 18th October for another massive Welsh independence march. The buzz is building as YesCymru and AUOBCymru prepare to host what could be a record-breaking turnout.
This isn’t just another march; it’s a shout for change! Rhyl, a town that’s seen tough times, stands as a symbol of resilience and hope. The locals are keen to show they’re not getting left behind anymore. With the backdrop of the recent Crown Estate debate, where decisions on vital assets like offshore wind farms remain controlled from London, there’s a palpable energy for devolving these powers to Wales.
Reflecting on past successes, the Barry march had over 6,000 in attendance, and in Cardiff, more than 10,000 showed their support. Rhyl is set to echo their demands on the sea breeze, with organisers urging the community—families, young people, everyone—to unite for a fairer, self-governed Wales.
Bleddyn Williams, a passionate voice from Rhuddlan, paints a vivid picture: “Rhyl’s ready for change. We’ve been sidelined too long. Independence is about shaping our future right here in Wales!”
Geraint Thomas of AUOBCymru drives the message home: “Our movement’s gaining momentum. We saw Barry’s streets come alive, and Rhyl will burst with the same spirit. The future is ours to carve out!”
Adding fire to the cause is a recent poll showing growing support—41% favouring independence when undecided voters are excluded. That’s a big leap and a sign of shifting attitudes across the nation. Phyl Griffiths of YesCymru calls it a pivotal moment, noting that nearly half of working-age adults are ready for a self-governing Wales.
Whether you’re a firm believer in sovereignty or simply curious about the enthusiasm stirring within the nation, the Rhyl march promises to be a significant marker in Wales’s ongoing story. Don’t miss the chance to be part of history in the making! 🇬🇧✨
