"Easter Week 2026 will long be remembered. Unlike 1916, there have been no patriot dead. Indeed, there have been no patriots. Rather, it will be recalled as a week when a rudderless government was incapable of defusing a disorganised but peaceful protest."
"Instead of conciliation, our leaders chose confrontation. The last week will rank among the most ill-judged of this unhappy coalition's rule."
"If they are not careful, the policy of gradual escalation of the conflict will create a whole new company of martyrs."
Easter Week 2026 marked a significant moment as a disorganized but peaceful protest unfolded. The government, described as rudderless, struggled to manage the situation effectively. Instead of seeking to resolve tensions through dialogue, leaders chose a confrontational approach. This decision is viewed as one of the most misguided actions of the coalition's governance, risking the creation of new martyrs through escalating conflict.
