Roqueta's cultural and political activities were highly controversial. He was regarded by some Occitan activists as a pioneer of his generation and one of the nation's most talented poets and novelists. Others have maintained that he had a negative impact on the Occitan movement during the late 1970s and the 1980s. In particular, his anti-academic positions led to the IEO's split in 1981.
