2023 Danzilonan coup d'état attempt: Difference between revisions

The '''2023 Danzilonan coup d'état attempt''', also known as the '''Socialist Unity Coalition coup d'état''' or '''Operation Resurgo''', was a coup attempt that took place in [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] between 5 and 6 March 2023 on [[CivMC]]. It started in the UTC morning hours of 5 March 2023 when the [[Socialist Unity Coalition]], headed by [[Des23]], [[SandFalls]] and [[Red_Steel]], announced the completion of 'Operation Resurgo' which put a Socialist Unity Coalition junta into power<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/? https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/?]</ref> and started the process of reform within Danzilona in line with the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1536bC3PGR3akBuoSlHvbFyYEHRyQbAm_5W0ZolSCIpk/edit SUC Manifesto]. The SUC Manifesto imposed the expulsion of most of [[New Swisston]] and its leader, [[Lone22wolf]], from Danzilona, annulled the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|concordat between Danzilona and the Church of Ranubis]], introduced a new citizenship system, nationalized most infrastructure in Danzilona and introduced the position of Chairperson as an executive position. Despite initial success, the junta failed to secure the support of the Danzilonan public and was officially overthrown on 6 March 2023 after an announcement by [[Azelair]]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11kddxs/a_united_fwc_danzilona/</ref>.

Although the anti-junta movement did little materially to stop the coup besides burn some flags,<ref><nowiki>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1077360271011627068/1087495472412889148/2023-03-07_21.08.32.png</nowiki></ref> the coup's unpopularity among the Danzilonans was almost universal. Danzilonans who the SUC thought would be allies of the junta-such as Azelair, architect of the cooperatives, and [[ViktorHR|ViktorHr]], socialist leader of [[New Melonwood]]- actually opposed the coup and contributed to its undermining. Most Danzilonans dismissed or minimised the concerns raised in the SUC Manifesto, with some anti-junta Danzilonans not reading the document at all.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} Under mounting pressure, with no allies and increasing concern among Danzilona's neighbour [[Nara]] over how the coup was going to affect the upcoming [[Nara-Danzilona Olympics]], [[Des23]] withdrew her involvement from the junta, handed over primary ownership of Danzilonan infrastructure groups, and abandoned Danzilona altogether. As a last-ditch effort, [[The Workers' Party]] took full control of the junta and declared the Socialist Republic of Danzilona. However, this, too, was short-lived, and [[SandFalls]] also abandoned Danzilona. Red Steel tentatively remained a Danzilonan citizen, but she stepped down from her position as foreign representative of Danzilona and relocated her main residence to the [[Arsenio Pact]]. By the end of the day on Monday, March 6th, the coup was declared a failure, the Socialist Unity Coalition was dissolved, and the three coup plotters were banned from the Danzilona subreddit.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11kfe35/this_community_cannot_tolerate_this_level_of/</ref>
