Alex Salmond, Former Scottish First Minister, Dies

Alex Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland and leader of the SNP, has died at the age of 69 after suffering a suspected heart attack while attending a conference in North Macedonia. His passing has prompted an outpouring of tributes from political figures, including Nicola Sturgeon, despite their fraught relationship in recent years. Salmond was embroiled in a legal battle against the Scottish Government, alleging malfeasance related to harassment complaints made against him, and his allies are determined to continue this fight to expose alleged wrongdoing. They believe Salmond was treated unfairly by former colleagues and that the legal case could shed light on a conspiracy against him. Following his death, discussions have emerged regarding the possibility of his family continuing the legal action on his behalf. Salmond's legacy as a transformative figure in Scottish politics remains a point of contention among supporters and critics alike.
