Supporters of California secession want to open an embassy in Russia according to the head of the Yes California Independence Campaign, Louis Marinelli. He announced this to the American news website Business Insider. Radio Sputnik spoke with Marinelli about why he seeks to open a Californian embassy in Russia.

“We are going to have a vote to make California an independent country in 2019 and we want to lay the ground work now so that after the vote results are in we can begin to request international recognition of California as an independent nation,” Marinelli said.

He further said that his party is going to apply for membership to the United Nations and whether the application will be accepted or not is heavily reliant on the fact that the Security Council must accept the application. There are five countries in the world that have veto power over that decision and one of them is Russia.

“We want to start laying the groundwork now to have an opportunity to have a dialogue with the Russian people about California becoming an independent country, so that we can later on seek Russia’s support to recognize our independence results,” Marinelli said.
