亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德(Alex Salmond)不仅被视为带领苏格兰“如此接近独立梦想”的政治领袖,而且被视为一位“亲爱的朋友”。

周二,在阿伯丁郡斯特里肯教区教堂举行的私人葬礼上,人们向这位前苏格兰首席部长致敬。

萨尔蒙德本月早些时候在北马其顿的奥赫里德湖度假胜地参加会议时因心脏病发作去世,享年69岁。

这位已故阿尔巴党领袖在午餐时在拥挤的房间里昏倒之前发表了演讲。

阿尔巴党代理领袖肯尼·麦卡斯基尔在葬礼上发表讲话,称赞他已故的朋友是“一个巨人,我们国家的领袖,我们运动的领袖”,然后将他描述为“一个鼓舞人心的人,一个政治天才,一个无与伦比的演说家,辩手和沟沟者”。

萨尔蒙德于2007年至2014年担任首席部长,并于1990年至2000年和2004年至2014年两次担任苏格兰民族党领袖。

2014年苏格兰独立公投结果出来后,他辞去了这两个职位,由曾经的朋友尼古拉·斯特金(Nicola Sturgeon)接替。

萨尔蒙德在2021年继续争取独立的运动中成立了阿尔巴党。

曾在萨尔蒙德政府担任司法大臣的麦卡斯基尔表示,萨尔蒙德是“苏格兰杰出的政治人物,不仅是他这一代人,而且是过去几代人的杰出政治人物,未来几代人也可能如此”。

麦卡斯基尔先生补充道:“他留下的遗产无处不在。从道路和桥梁到免费处方和免学费等权利。”

萨尔蒙德的侄女克里斯蒂娜·亨德利(Christina Hendry)告诉该机构,在他去世后的一段时间里,“我们感受到了整个国家乃至整个国家的悲痛”。

她补充说:“对于这个房间里的每个人来说,我们都有不同的感受。

“亚历克斯叔叔对许多人来说是一个重要的人,但对我们来说,他是一个丈夫、一个兄弟、一个叔叔、一个同事和一个亲爱的朋友。”

萨尔蒙德在2007年的苏格兰议会选举中以微弱优势战胜工党,带领苏格兰民族党从反对党进入苏格兰政府。

2011年,他领导的苏格兰民族党在苏格兰议会中赢得了前所未有的绝对多数席位,随后时任首相戴维•卡梅伦(David Cameron)同意了该党举行独立公投的要求。

尽管苏格兰人在2014年的公投中选择留在英国,但麦卡斯基尔在回忆萨尔蒙德时表示,他是“一个用一生的努力恢复了我们国家的自豪感,让我们如此接近他的独立梦想的人”。

在谈到萨尔蒙德时,他补充道:“政治不是他的职业,即使他在政治艺术方面表现出色。他致力于苏格兰和独立,拒绝了加入其他政党的提议。

“但他都拒绝了。”

麦卡斯基尔表示,萨尔蒙德“对苏格兰的未来有一个梦想,也有实现这个梦想的策略”,正如他回忆萨尔蒙德“建立了一个政党,然后上台,几乎赢得了公投”。

他接着说,在萨尔蒙德的领导下,苏格兰民族党“在2011年获得了前所未有的选举成功”,在苏格兰议会中占多数,“这种情况不太可能重演”。

葬礼由牧师伊恩·麦克尤恩主持,之前为萨尔蒙德工作过的吹笛手弗格斯·穆奇带领队伍前往斯特里钦公墓参加私人仪式。

公众追悼会预计将在晚些时候举行。

与此同时,苏格兰议会打开了一本吊唁簿,供访客留言,并将留言寄给萨尔蒙德的家人。

周三,萨尔蒙德也将在荷里路德宫(hollyrood)受到悼念,届时预计将举行哀悼动议。
