He's a former top prosecutor. He likely knows quite well how the law works and will do anything he can to make it harder on his opponents. At the same time, we still don't know what got into him when declaring martial law, so maybe a case of "don't find malice where stupidity can explain things".

He's got the support from some generals, at least, as supposedly, its their advice that pushed him to declare martial law in the first place.

Are the locals calm and not expecting widespread unrest?

Not really.

The majority of people just feel ashamed. Most people agree he's a clown. He still has loyal supporters, but they are in the minority. And mostly, old.
