Being the bigger party?

This came from a FRETILIN media release yesterday:

FRETILIN’s leader in the Timor-Leste National Parliament, Aniceto Guterres today called on all parties to respect a Constitutional Court ruling against the petition by FRETILIN MPs that the National Petroleum Authority was unconstitutional.

In a written judgment dated 16 June 2009, and delivered to FRETILIN MPs yesterday, the court rejected the arguments of unconstitutionality regarding Government Decree Law 20/2008 of 19 June 2008.

FRETILIN has been on this non-stop for months now. The party has used every opportunity it has had to speak out against heavy-fuel power plants. Guterres added, "We all have to respect the court decision and urge all concerned to comply with it – no more, no less."

The point of the press release is to state how FRETILIN follows the rules, so to speak. It seems odd to me.
