to reject the national willpower

Why did they refuse now?

Obviously, they are afraid of the public learning about everything and making their own decisions.

Look, every time they open their mouths, they cannot put the nation in the sky as "national will", but they are afraid that the nation will learn everything.

Because they can show their troubles as if there is no opposition. Preventing opposing voices.

To prevent the citizens from saying "look at that guy saying interesting things".

In short, to prevent the free manifestation of the national will.

Because now people are afraid of learning and knowing everything.
