Abstract
This is a case where the government risked public support to save the environment. The government broke the law by disobeying human rights law in order to enforce the environmental policy. Implementers also disobeyed court orders in order to enforce executive decrees. Taking this event as a case study, the purpose of this study was to analyze what politicians tell the public during major political crisis and its implications on environmental ethics and political socialization. Document Analysis and hermeneutics were used in data collection and analysis. Themes emerging from the study include concern for livelihoods; the basis for justifying eviction policy; obedience to the rule of law and concern for sustainable development; resettlement; compensation; and political leadership in environmental policy.
