Hm. No offense to the rebels, but that's a really stupid plan :P.

Is this government meant to replace the one presumably surplanted during the crisis, or is this the original one attempting to hang on to power?

If it's a new government, it would make sense for it to be a socialist state, attempting to forcefully redistribute wealth to help those affected by the gas.

If it's the old government, it would make sense if it imposed martial law for a while while it tried to restore a semblance of order and deal with the crisis. Lawmakers might have the state print more currency to buy industry to keep themselves going and to pay for the army, raising inflation significantly.

This definitely ties into your idea.
