GalNet: New Republic Condemns Hudson
27 Sep 2022Rho Tefnutet
Today it came to General Snider's attention - as well as New Republican comitee - that arrests of Far God cultists and illegal forceful capture of their assets are nothing but act of violation against democracy and personal freedoms. Among the citizens of Reightler Dock it became yet another reason to protest and show the outright dislike towards Federation and its authorities, firms or even private people who are not remotely connected to ideologies represented by Zachary Hudson."The situation on Reightler Dock is under control, however the Federal embassy is under lockdown despite the initial opportunity to open it to the public. Given the negative perception of Federation - justified or not - it is better not to allow any new incident to spark out."
The New Republic seemed to maintain a new era of relationships with Federation around year ago, but it went into uncertainty given the repercussions of the Far God Cult.
"While I do not agree with ideologies represented by Far God Cult, it is not the reason to start yet another prejudice against yet another group President Hudson does not want in his Federation. Zachary Hudson once again started to vaporize our mutual relationships while we gave a goodwill to do so. We call Zachary Hudson to stand down from the undemocratic prejudice -- or our cooperation will be null and void" -- Said General Snider in quick response both to the decision of the Federation and to the protest among Reightler Dock.
Ever since series of incidents with Federation that had been happening for a few years already, the New Republic remained in cold diplomatic relations towards Zachary Hudson's administration. There are also voices that call for military intervention into Federal systems affected by "witch-hunt", should the situation require it.
Reightler Dock also has seen increase in import and production of all sorts of weaponry, while some firms cut relations with Federal counterparts. The negotiations to return assets of Core Dynamics' still nationalized by NR were dropped entirely, quoting "lack of cooperation" from the Federal side. At the same time, New Republican Navy is said to encrypt their internal channels while amassing ships in the system for unknown reason.
