I am going to repeat what Haste already said - there is no new lore. The only misleading things were missing rephacks that nobody really noticed/forgot about them.
How do I know? I was playing in Gallia as a player when Gallic Union came to be, it was feeling betrayed by all Houses aside from Rheinland, and it closed into itself. It became more xenophobic military dictatorship. The vast majority of the former Enclave personnel was incorporated back into Gallia and they gained seats of power, including nobles. All of this happened ingame and on forums, people were playing according to this and even old gallic govs. It wasn't made up by us a few weeks ago to ruin player-made RP.
That is also why Maquis felt betrayed by the Council as they welcomed back their former foes and joined forces with them, even abandoning all hopes for a true democracy. Nothing happened in Gallia to change this state - if anything, the Blockade by Bretonia, CR and Kusari (player driven) reinforced this xenophobia even further (with exception of Rheinland).
Simply put, Gallic Union =/= Confederate Gallia. Gallic Union is Confederate Gallia + Enclave, and there are a lot of reasons to hate the Enclave as it never really paid for its crimes, especially for Bretonia and Liberty who fought hard against the GRN/GRI and lost a lot of men and ships (+ two full battlegroups thanks to the GRI saboteurs + atrocities like glassing of Leeds and attempted one of New London).
If Liberty wants to be the Sirius policeman, then it should make former gallic criminals pay to the last credit, not befriending them and giving up on any form of compensation for their actions.
