To infinitive correct here?

Hi, everyone.

Could someone tell me whether this use of infinitive phrase clause correct in the sentence below? Because it sounds odd.

They had threatened to dissolve the provincial assemblies to impede Senate elections. I have a clear message for those who cursed the parliament to dare dissolve the assemblies, if anyone can.

Thanks!

I does sound odd. I do not consider it correct. I don't understand what it's trying to say.
