The All-Councilist Union of Auzance (Autuzian: Union tot-consyîsse ôtuzienne) is the dominant and current governing party of the Council Republic of Auzance. Founded in 1933, it was banned by Remy Warnot from 1942 to its re-legalisation in 1948; thereafter until 1971, it established itself as the sole political party in Auzance. The leader of the All-Councilist Union is presently Catrene Burnot, since November 2019.
Formed in 1933, councilists had been a major force in the pre and post-independence Auzance, and increasingly the post-independence Auzance leant towards equalist ideologies. In the 1930s, councilists were key in the installation of Remy Warnot as Prime Minister, however the All-Councilist Union among other political parties (bar the Authoritarian Working People's Party) who participated in the Provisional Government increasingly posed a threat to Warnot's increasing concentration of power, and thus were banned ahead of the 1942 general election. Its leader, Philippe Djinal, was arrested in 1944 and sentenced to five years in a hard labour camp by the Warnot government, having previously co-operated closely with Warnot a decade prior; he was freed in 1948 upon their dissolution, but died soon after.
Following the dissolution of the Warnot government in the 1940s, the All-Councilist Union transitioned into power under Eûdalîye Linå Vanole, or ELV colloquially; Vanole was an orthodox councilist (whose political tendency remains in the Councilist Union under Vanolisme), who opposed market reforms and opposed multi-party democracy, but cooled the intensity of state powers. Vanole's tenure, lasting from 1948 to 1959, saw a gradual thaw with Eastern countries, the eventual tolerance of other political parties at council-level, and a partial transition from agricultural collectivisation to co-operativism. A key principle of Vanolist councilism was gender equality, while the first All-Councilist government also abolished the death penalty; on the other hand, Vanole tolerated the persecution of the Gaullican-speaking community, and more or less continued Warnot's aggressive "Autuzianisation" policy, including suppression of "non-Union thought", especially those adherent to either liberal democracy or national functionalism.
In the 1970s, Ritchåd Cougnî - a natively Gaullican-speaking reformer - ascended to the rank of party leader and Prime Minister, and began a series of democratising and modernising reforms that characterised the modern Autuzian council republic. These included the separation of powers, with him resigning as Prime Minister in 1974 following the separation of executive (of which he became the first Premier and thus head of state) and legislature. Cougnî maintained his position as head of the party, and his premiership - lasting into the late 1980s - established market reforms, including the allowance of small private and many co-operative businesses, while maintaining larger key industries (such as railways, banking and water) under the control of the councils. The Cougnî era also saw large-scale housing programmes, infrastructure improvements, the standardisation of the welfare system and the full co-operativisation of agriculture. Political persecution was mostly eliminated in this era, with Cougnî himself sent to a hard labour camp under Warnot a generation earlier for being a Gaullican speaker in his youth, and the party scrapped the "one-party law", legalising the formation of independent political parties. The All-Councilist Union oversaw a period of rapid growth in this period, while the republic transitioned from an authoritarian one-party state to a councilist constitutional democratic republic in the same time, and oversaw a socially liberal agenda - this included the decriminalisation of homosexuality, legal provision of abortion and legislative efforts to criminalise discrimination.
1990s and 2000s - first National government?
The party today remains in government today, under Catrene Burnot, while the party has largely not deviated from its policy platform of "modern councilism" that it first espoused in the 1970s and onwards.
