Understanding this quote
The sentence criticizes the VVG issue as an intense campaign that is looking for a serious crisis to justify itself. Calling it a “crusade” suggests determined, forceful advocacy, while “desperate search” makes that effort sound strained. The speaker presents the crisis as something the campaign is trying to find, rather than an established problem.
