I am interested to see whether government can really strongly build the case and justify their argument. but if they decide to go for it, a lot will be at stake. the government's character as the protector of its citizens' personal rights will be in question. again, their attitude might be termed as oppression and silencing people's opinions by force. whether or not they win the case, chances are that it will damage their image, which is already in jeopardy.
De nuevo, su actitud puede ser calificada como opresión y como intento de silenciar a la fuerza las opiniones del pueblo. Ya sea que ganen el caso o no, la opciones son que se dañará su imagen, lo que ya está en riesgo.
