Where does your thinking stem from? Are you serious? If it wasn't defamatory I would question your sanity.
And btw, it doesn't matter who contacted who.
You cannot control the media.
The media controlled publicity you will get will be dire. Along the lines of (but no doubt more incisive and pithy from someone whose job it is to write this stuff)...
"Would be Separatist states to join in battle"
"The chess playing federations of would be break away nations Scotland and the Basque region have decided to lock horns in a chess match."
"A unity to be found in a common cause, whilst battling against each other. How pertinent to the zeitgeist in each prospective new nation".

To further their own agenda of course. Only a fool can't see that.
