Figure of the Day. Is the minister's head already on the platter?

The police response to peaceful protests has exposed government fragility and sparked a potential crisis. Images of police violence against young demonstrators evoke disgust. While acknowledging prior warnings and political provocations, the state's reaction was disproportionate. Democracy cannot suppress non-violent protests with violence, indicating a deeper issue. Alternatives existed for addressing the situation, but the government's approach showed cowardice. The aftermath is uncertain, but protests are expected to intensify, potentially doubling in size. The President may discreetly demand the resignation of the Minister of Internal Administration and call for urgent housing solutions, as the PS faces challenges in passing the State Budget.
