"Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element.

Such conditions must inevitably cause a brutalization of public life: attempted assassinations, shootings of hostages, etc."
