My initial reaction is that it is a drive by party conservatives to seize the initiative in a first shot
at shaping the agenda and personnel changes for the next party congress. The mid-year

has been politically weakened by the bauxite affair due to his high profile and the manner in
which he managed this issue. The conservatives have pre-empted any attempt to push
political liberalization by linking advocacy of democracy with national security.
