Rhun ap Iorwerth: Plaid Cymru is ready to ‘lead the charge’ in Wales

Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has unveiled his party's 60-page plan for its first 100 days in government, aiming to demonstrate readiness for the upcoming Senedd elections in Wales this May. Speaking at the party's spring conference in Newport, he acknowledged the significant challenge of leading the country while emphasizing voters' growing Welsh identity and openness to reshaping the UK. The roadmap prioritizes key issues such as reducing hospital waiting times, addressing the cost of living, stimulating the economy, raising educational standards, and alleviating child poverty. While not explicitly focused on independence, a core Plaid Cymru goal, ap Iorwerth implied it through promises to redefine Wales's relationship with the UK government, stating that the decision ultimately rests with the Welsh people. He expressed willingness to collaborate with other parties if Plaid Cymru does not secure a majority.
