Greater Burgundy Rises: A Sovereign Nation for a Rooted Europe
Greater Burgundy is a people’s community, uniting Burgundy, Lorraine, Savoy, Picardy, Luxembourg, and Wallonia in a historic surge. We affirm our will to restore a strong community, rooted in our heritage and freed from the chains of modernity. This manifesto proclaims our vision and ambitions, as Burgundians, for a Europe of peoples. Open to all Europeans who cherish our past, this movement galvanizes souls around a shared history and destiny.
1. Greater Burgundy: An Eternal people
Greater Burgundy encompasses 20 million souls, with a GDP of 800 billion euros (2024), uniting lands bound by history: Burgundy, Lorraine, Savoy, Picardy, Luxembourg, Wallonia. Our emblem, the Cross of Burgundy, embodies the strength and unity of a nation that refuses to vanish.
The Duchy of Burgundy, under Philip the Good, dominated Europe in the 15th century, federating territories to the North Sea. Savoy, sovereign until 1860, and Lorraine, a pivot of empires, carried a transregional ambition. These lands, shaped by Celtic, Roman, and Germanic heritages, are the legitimate cradle of our state. We resurrect this spirit to build Greater Burgundy, a keystone of a resurgent Europe.
2. Our Vision: A Break with the French Revolution
We seek to transcend the legacy of the French Revolution, which shattered identities, imposed destructive centralism, and promoted abstract universalism.
Our vision is anchored in the essential values of our civilization:
European: Greater Burgundy is the spearhead of a Europe of peoples, united by its roots, against the deracination dictated by globalization.
Rooted: We honor nature’s cycles and ancestral traditions, a source of spiritual freedom for all.
Imperial: Like Rome, we unite our regions in a harmony that celebrates their differences, far from republican leveling.
Identitarian: We embrace the centrality of European heritage, offering legitimate pride to Europe’s men and women, while welcoming all who share our values.
3. Our Ambitions: An Independent Power
Greater Burgundy breaks free from artificial nation-states. Our goals are clear:
Sovereignty: Establish an independent state by 2040, with a Parliament in Dijon, through democratic referendums in each region, respecting legal frameworks.
Cultural Restoration: Revive regional languages (Picard, Walloon), ancestral festivals, and natural sites to reconnect with our collective soul.
Prosperity: Federate our economies—Burgundian viticulture, Lorraine industry, Luxembourg finance—for a dynamic, thriving Burgundian state.
European Leadership: Make Greater Burgundy a model for a Europe of peoples, allied with the continent’s peoples.
Historical Legitimacy: Luxembourg, a prosperous state, proves small nations can shine. The resistance of Burgundian dukes against unitary France and Savoyard autonomy inspire our struggle.
4. Unity and European Community
We transcend the false alternation between right and left, which divide to rule.
Greater Burgundy offers a new community:
For All Europeans: We welcome anyone who embraces our heritage, restoring a sense of belonging to deracinated Europeans, without exclusion.
Organic Community: We reject the individualism and universalism of 1789, advocating organic solidarity inspired by medieval guilds and Hanseatic cities.
5. The Urgency to Act
Europe in 2025 is crumbling: financial crises, migratory tensions, loss of meaning. Greater Burgundy is the answer: a rooted, viable state ready to lead Europe toward a new renaissance.
Europeans, wherever you are, join us! Sign for referendums, celebrate our festivals, build our shared state. Greater Burgundy rises, and with it, the soul of Europe. For our crosses, for honor, for our ancestors and our children!
