GalNet: Draguan Nu Withdraws Support For Zachary Hudson And His Government
30 Mar 2021Rho Tefnutet
Along with Federation pushing a bill which harms private life of its citizens, and after very heated argument on the official diplomatic channel through Federal Embassy, the leadership of New Republic withdrew support for Hudson-Archer government. General Snider refused to uphold any press conference, instead she sent Public Relations division of NRDN to the journalists. "New Republic cannot cooperate with a government that abuses the right to privacy for sake of ill-perceived greater good. Therefore, authorities of Draguan Nu closed the diplomatic channel with official Federal government. However, it does not mean cutting contact with our Federation-affiliated allies." - Said the NR ambassador, Li Cheng - notable for being New Republican representative during the Galactic Summit.
March 31st will be the last day of Federal Embassy on Reightler Dock until solution to relationship between New Republic and Federation, which went cold once again. Federal Ambassadors will be leaving from Draguan Nu among its own escorts provided by Federal Navy, although without any sort of farewell ceremony.
General Snider's decision met with a lot of concern, given the fact that until now the cooperation after HIP 54530 and presence during Galactic Summit seemed to mark a new chapter in Sol-Draguan Nu relations. However, some of the voices agreed with the notion. Outer walls of the former Federal Embassy were marked with vulgar slogans against Federation and Zachary Hudson, resembling situation from the last year during Jupiter Division crisis.
"What Federation does is no different to what Empire has been doing for centuries" seems to be the most repeated accusation towards Zachary Hudson and Jerome Archer. While at least it has not followed Core Dynamics' into the equation, majority of Draguan Nu - involving even the pro-Federation affiliates - stands against current bill introduced by the Vice President and approved by the Congress.
New Republic also issued a long list of Federal citizens - which includes majority of congressmen and congresswomen, President and Vice President and their respective cabinet members, who are banned from entering New Republican space. New Republican Navy also announced that every Federal Agent found in Draguan Nu will be arrested on sight - with their vessels being confiscated. Several members of Liberal Party, as well as Shadow President Felicia Winters and her cabinet, avoided the restrictions.
NR-Sec also closed channels with FIB in relation to NMLA and Jupiter Division investigations, restricting their cooperation only with the Alliance Interpol. It was followed by a short excerpt that any information of Draguan Nu origin released by FIB without NR-Sec authorization will be basis for lawsuit against Federation.
