Answer and Explanation:

The ministers' fears were justified because they feared that young people would be victims of violence during the protests and that is exactly what happened, the young people were raped, humiliated and blamed, even being arrested, even though they promoted a peaceful protest. In this case, we can see that the protest bothered a large part of the population, calling attention to the cause addressed by the young Protestants, in this point of view, the protest can be considered a victory, even if it had such a disadvantageous ending.
