t's a fair bet the authorities are currently in possession of more facts than the public.
I think the authorities have opened a box and what they see inside is the problem . Plus someone surely told them that they are untimely responsible as certifier and regulator of the airlines registered in their country. Not only in establishing the regulations but also enforcing them .establishing rules is easy and can be copy and paste from existing regulations (e.g FAA or EASA) but controlling that they are applied is not that simple. I think the relatively new Aviation Minister just discovered that .
