After reading an article on the Sezentrania Crisis, we wanted to answer the accusations and communicate more about the Occitanian political reality.
"Despite being its founder, the federal government refused to allow Lee to act as the state’s governor, instead designating the federal legislature, the Vergadering, as the state’s administrator." --> Daniel Lee has never asked the President Office for this position and we wish to place a neutral body in this post, the time to update the new situation of Sezentrania in Occitania. "With Lee being the only resident of Sezentrania, the argument by the federal government that the secession is not a question of self-determination appears fleeting at best. While it is a fact that Lee did not follow constitutional processes, his decision as the sole resident of the state is, arguably, the practice of self-determination in action." --> In Occitania, there are legal and constitutional means to move from a federal state status to something else. Here we have received no solicitation of this type, nor even pleasures or requests. "More questionable is whether the federal government has moral standing to oppose the secession of Sezentrania. On October 27th, Occitania announced its support for the unilateral declaration of independence issued by the Spanish state of Catalonia. Catalonia declared independence, in violation of Spanish law, following the results of an unconstitutional referendum in which a minority of its residents participated" -->As we said, our federal statutes are negotiable and flexible. It is not the case in Spain. For seven years, Catalans saw a closed door in front of them. Their secession respects the Catalan legality. "With its own territorial integrity is threatened by similar action, Occitania’s government now underscores the importance of constitutional law and minimizes the right of a local populace to exercise self-determination." -->The action is not at all similar. In Catalonia, a democratically elected parliament and president initiated a process of complete autonomy. Here, a single individual has proclaimed a pseudo republic. And when using the same means, this is also false. We are enforcing the law, but unlike Madrid, we are open to dialogue and we do not send police for beating grandmothers.
