MORE than 40 campaigners from west Wales took part in Saturday’s Put It To The People anti-Brexit march in London.

Campaigners from across Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire travelled to London on Saturday March 23, to join a million-strong mass demonstration to demand a People’s Vote on Brexit.

One million from across the UK took part in the People’s Vote: Put It To The People march in central London.

Geraint Talfan Davies, chair of Wales for Europe said: “We have had an astonishing response to this march from all over Wales, with many more coaches having to be booked than for last October’s event. This is a clear sign that support in Wales for our membership of the EU has grown sharply.

“Anyone who cares about the future, who feels betrayed by broken promises in the last referendum, and who can see the immense damage that Brexit will do to the Welsh economy, our NHS and already beleaguered communities, is welcome to join us to make their voice heard. We can stop this madness. It’s now or never,” he added.

Alistair Cameron from Pembrokeshire for Europe said: “It was a fantastic day. Brexit is already causing deep damage to Wales and the rest of the UK, threatening local jobs, businesses, the NHS and living standards in Pembrokeshire.

“The discredited Brexit deal, Theresa May is still trying to force on the UK Parliament, bears little resemblance to what was promised in the 2016 referendum.

“The only way to solve this political crisis is to put whatever deal is decided by Parliament back to the British people, alongside the option to remain in the European Union, and let them decide.”

Mid and West Wales AM Eluned Morgan was one of the many who attended the Put It To The People Rally.

She said: “The historic rally in London last Saturday shows that as Brexit approaches, the view of the public is changing. There was a very strong Welsh contingent, proud to make their feelings known on what will be recorded as a significant episode in British politics.

“This week will be fundamental to determining the economic future of Mid and West Wales. The Tory Government has brought us to the brink of disaster, they have made the UK a laughing stock around the World after two and a half years of negotiations. The prospect of a no-deal Brexit still looms which would be catastrophic in particular for our rural communities.”
