I think we are seeing the usual Freudian slip of "restoring trust as a goal". The same often seen with corrupt leadership in the wake of their latest scandal. It doesn't even occur to the speakers to lie about becoming worthy of the trust, as if transparency and accountability are unfathomable, lovecraftian concepts and that trust just exists to make people into puppets. Here they complain of a lack of trust and 'disunity' but say nothing about why they are worthy of trust. Indeed they scapegoat information for it, what should be a basis of trust. It comes across as the same ole corrupt "shut up and be good pawns again" attitude.
