And we saw yesterday they've lost two members of their government.
But I think what they've really lost is the confidence of the people who see an incompetent, arrogant, out of touch government.
Well, we supported the protests and I was very clear about that.
I was on the protests.
I supported the protests and the protesters.
Obviously, there were some people who were blockading.
I'm not going to condemn people who were out protesting.
The fault and the responsibility for what happened... So you support the blockade?
Just to be clear.
I supported the protest, the protesters.
But did you support the blockade?
That included the blockade, but I didn't want any blockade.
I didn't want any protest in the first place.
We had said to the government, you can avoid all protests if you act.
So the responsibility here...
lies with the government.
And the question that's being put is about, let's have a conversation about the protests and the protesters.
The real question is, what caused the protests in the first place?
We made it crystal clear, David, that all of this could have been avoided.
