With the Communists openly leveraging their control of the police to bar entire groups from entering the Sudetenland, it has become a new rallying cry for the pro-democracy forces in Czechoslovakia. Jan Masaryk, a respected non-partisan man and perhaps the second-most venerated statesman barring Benes or his father, has recently joined the political fray to some extent.

While certainly an ally of Benes', he remained outside the sphere of party politics himself. The Ministry of the Interior, controlled by the KSC, would have been bound to cause problems eventually, but the 1946 circumvention of presidential decree to unilaterally quarantine an entire portion of the country for political reasons was a final straw. First, it was illegal in that no democracy's police has any sort of policy-making power to A. circumvent presidential degree and B. arrest private citizens for no crime due to their public association and geographic location. Second, it was especially worrisome because of the reputation of communists in particular with using the police for suspicious purposes.

Jan Masaryk saw this as unacceptable for the broader future of Czechoslovakian democracy and a harbinger for worse to come. "Depoliticize the police" became his rallying cry: it was technically not directed for or against any political party, instead with the sole policy position of replacing Nosek as Minister of the Interior with a non-political, neutral minister similar to that of the Minister of Defense or other roles. He offered to take the position himself if need be, but would have also deferred to other more qualified nonpartisan candidates if possible. Part of the solution would also be to grant the KSC another minister ship to replace Ministry of the Interior as well that also has an impact on peoples lives but less easily circumvents Czech law.

Hence, the headlines on democrat-leaning newspapers rang "Save Democracy! Clean the Police!" and "Partisan Police Arrest Youth Groups!", and Masaryk himself even began to give speeches around the nation himself, electrifying college students and sons/daughters of the 1st Czechoslovak Republic alike.
