Ociote Sasiambarena (Lemovician: Ociote Sasiambaŕena), also known as Ociote Ferko (b. 16 October, 1934, d. 8 August, 2012) was a professor at the University of Sechia, a guerrilla leader, and a politician.
Born in Sechia to a professor at the University of Sechia, Ociote Sasiambarena initially followed the career path of his father, but due to the racism present in West Miersan society against ethnic Lemovicians, he was unable to become a professor. This led him to become more involved in politics, initially by advocating for the recognition of Lemovician culture, but as the racism continued, Sasiambarena became convinced that the only way for Lemovicians to have "the same rights as anyone else" was for Lemovicia to become a separate state. Thus, in 1975, he became involved in the Lemovician Section of the Workers' International, and quickly rose through the ranks, due to his charismatic speaking skills.
(TBC)
Early life
Ociote Sasiambarena was born in Sechia on 16 October, 1934 to University of Sechia professor Jedur Ferko and housewife Mercie Ferko, as their only son, and the eldest of three children. He was an excellent student in school, and sought to become a professor.
After graduating from school in 1952, he began attending the University of Sechia, with the intention of becoming a professor in the field of literature. After obtaining a specialist degree in 1958, he was recruited by the University of Sechia to be an Assistant Professor.
In 1962, Ociote Ferko successfully defended his thesis, but he was unable to become a docent due to his ethnic background, as the University of Sechia believed that "no student would want to learn from a Góral." When he tried finding a job as a docent at other universities in West Miersa, he was rejected by every university for the same reasons. This angered Ferko, and he became involved in the political scene, advocating for the recognition of Lemovician culture in Małomiersa.
During this period, he moved to Topagunea, where he worked as a librarian and archivist. While he still remained interested in politics, and was relatively active in the political scene, particularly among ethnic Lemovicians, he was not seen as a "major threat" to the national order of the day.
Political career
Early political career
By 1975, Ociote Ferko officially joined the newly-established Lemovician Section of the Workers' International, seeing it as the only way that "the Lemovician nation may see true liberation." While at the time, Nikola Lysiak served as the head of party, Ociote Ferko quickly rose in prominence, with Ferko becoming a renowned orator. However, as the movement was banned due to its alleged connections with East Miersa, Ferko quickly found himself under trouble.
Thus, in 1976, he decided to start going by the name of Ociote Sasiambarena, in an effort to avoid official attention. However, due to his profile, in 1978, he was arrested and charged with incitement and conspiracy. Prior to his trial, Sasiambarena escaped the jail he was being held in, and became a fugitive, fleeing to Włocłamyśl (present day Zubizurija), where he remained in hiding until late 1979.
Leader of the separatists
With the collapse of Narozalica into a second civil war, East Miersa took the opportunity to invade West Miersa, thereby starting the Miersan War. In light of the situation, Ociote Sasiambarena officially proclaimed the establishment of a provisional government in the city of Topagunea on 21 November, 1979, with the task of establishing a "sovereign Lemovician state" based upon socialist principles.
From the beginning, Ociote Sasiambarena was perceived to be an East Miersan puppet, as while Sasiambarena focused extensively on the development of Lemovician culture, including a new orthography for writing the Lemovician language, his government was heavily aligned to that of East Miersa, and was dependent on East Miersa for support. Initially, he mostly focused on the defense of the region: by 1980, with the aid of East Miersan forces, Sasiambarena secured control of the entirety of Małomiersa, and was able to promulgate a constitution.
Following the end of the Miersan War in 1982, Sasiambarena's position became untenable, as without the overt support of the East Miersans, Miersan-majority regions quickly revolted against his rule. This, combined with the urgings of the East Miersan government to establish a connection between Lemovicia and East Miersa meant that by 1983, Sasiambarena lost much of western Lemovicia to the separatists. As a military commander, Sasiambarena was indecisive, and was "reliant" on the orders of East Miersa. In 1986, he succeeded Nikolas Lezana, after Lezana's death in the third Battle of Topagunea, as the First Secretary of the Lemovician Section of the Workers' International.
By 1988, Ibaiak and Sechia fell to Miersan forces, and virtually all the Lemovician population fled from these two areas to Lemovician-controlled territory. Although Sasiambarena was not a competent military commander, he proved to be an effective administrator, managing to rehouse "virtually all the refugees" in areas under Lemovician control that were abandoned by ethnic Miersans.
After a stalemate, the Alikianos Accords was signed in 1992, ending the Lemovician War.
Presidency
With the conclusion of the Lemovician War in 1992, Ociote Sasiambarena was confirmed for a second term for the Lemovician Presidency in December, (TBC).
Deputy Premier
In 2000, as Otxote Sasiambarrena reached his maximum term under the 1992 constitution for the Presidency, he decided to run for a seat in the National Assembly of Lemovicia on the Liberal Democratic ticket.
Following his election, he was sworn in on 1 April, 2000, and was quickly appointed to Premier Fabian Duch's cabinet, succeeding Hargin Saez as Duch's deputy, thereby cementing himself as a successor to Fabian Duch.
During his tenure as Deputy Premier of Lemovicia, Otxote Sasiambarrena focused extensively on advocating for Lemovician membership in the newly-established Association of South Euclean States, viewing it as a "stepping stone" to future membership in the Euclean Community, as well as the economic development of Lemovicia.
Premier
By late 2003, as Fabian Duch announced his intention to run for the Lemovician Presidency, Otxote Sasiambarrena was quickly nominated by the Liberal Democratic Party apparatus to run for the position of Premier. With this, Otxote Sasiambarrena spent much of early 2004 campaigning for election, travelling across Lemovicia.
After securing forty seats in March 2004, he negotiated an agreement with the Northern Alliance, allowing the existing coalition to remain intact, and thus allowing Otxote Sasiambarrena to become the second Premier of Lemovicia, succeeding Fabian Duch.
Initially, Otxote Sasiambarrena was seen as an effective leader, but after the 2005 recession hit Lemovicia harder than the rest of the world, his popularity declined, particularly as the response by the Lemovician government failed to improve the Lemovician economy, despite giving tax cuts to corporations based in Lemovicia, and implementing some austerity measures. This meant that by the time the 2008 election was held, Sasiambarrena lagged behind Jan Swiech in the polls.
Despite Sasimabarrena's efforts to promote himself as the candidate who would save the Lemovician economy, when the results arrived, the coalition between the Liberal Democrats and Northern Alliance failed to reach the 56-seat threshold to govern with a majority, while the Socialists were able to form a coalition with the Miersan People's Union, the Lemovician Section of the Workers' International, and Aurrera. In addition, Sasiambarrena lost his own seat.
In response, Sasiambarrena resigned his leadership of the Liberal Democrats, and announced his retirement from politics, although he would remain a member of the Liberal Democrats until his death in 2012.
Personal life
Family
Ociote Sasiambarrena first met the 20-year old Gaśuś Mimnermova in 1960. After a three-year period, they married in 1963, and they remained married until Otxote Sasiambaŕena's death in 2012. They had two sons, Telmo Sasiambaŕena, born in 1965, and Isaak Sasiambaŕena, born in 1967, and a daughter, Ostaciu Cioŕaga, born in 1969.
At the time of Ociote Sasiambaŕena's death in 2012, he was survived by all three of his children, and five grandchildren.
Political views
Politically, Otxote Sasiambarrena supported an eastern-style liberal democracy, saying in the 1979 essay Freedom and Democracy that liberal democracy would help "ensure that all are represented," and promote "just economic policies" that would benefit all people, while ensuring that a new state can be built. Under his tenure as Premier and as part of the Presidency, Sasiambarrena sought to build up Lemovicia's democratic institutions, and to develop a liberal democratic model "in a state torn by ethnic hatred." He supported official bilingualism, and "full equality for all citizens."
He was a strong supporter of Lemovicia to join the Euclean Community, arguing that it would help secure Lemovician independence from the Narozalics, and criticised Samorspi for its "role in bringing back the Narozalic Empire together."
Economically, Otxote Sasiambarrena was a supporter of neoliberalism, saying in 1989 that "when the war ends, it is important for Lemovicia to adopt a new economic model based on what the east has, in order to kickstart the reconstruction of our country." Under his tenure as part of the Presidency, and later as Premier, he oversaw the implementation of neoliberal economic policies.
Socially, he was relatively liberal, believing that homosexuality should be decriminalised, and supported legalising abortion in case of rape, incest, or if the woman's life is at risk.
Religion
Otxote Sasiambarrena was born on the feast day of Saint Lullus, and was thus given the baptismal name of Lul.
Although he was baptised in the Episemialist faith, he stopped practicing the faith in the 1970s, believing the faith was "irrational," and that its continued influence in western Euclea "retarded the development of liberal democracy" in western Euclea. However, in 2003, he said that he was "culturally Episemialist," but described his religious beliefs as being agnostic.
Health and death
In his final years, Otxote Sasiambarrena suffered from deteriorating health: in 2009, he was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack, and following his hospitalization withdrew from public life.
On 8 August, 2012, Sasiambarrena suffered a heart attack in his own home in Sechia, and by the time an ambulance arrived, Sasiambarrena died at the scene at the age of 77. After an autopsy was taken, he was transported to the Town Hall, where he laid in repose, as per his final wishes.
On 12 August, a funeral was held at the town hall, before he was taken to his family grave in Babicz, where his ahaida originally came from.
