It’s a significant step for accountability, but I wonder if a single resignation actually fixes the systemic issues with these leaks. Does removing one person change the administrative culture that allowed this to happen in the first place, or is this just a move to quiet the protests?

It certainly shows the power of collective action, Mara. However, looking at similar movements globally, a single resignation rarely fixes systemic corruption without a complete overhaul of the administration.
