It's bullshit. If they were noble enough to limit themselves with a law, this law wouldn't be necessary. This is far from the first time they've pulled this exact publicity stunt either.

Anti-corruption only comes from disruption. Protests, not parades that the city approves, but loud and angry protests that disrupt daily life and leave them no choice but to submit.
