Concerns Over Trump's Threats Against Rivals

President Trump promised to utilize the Department of Justice and the General Prosecutor's Office to pursue his alleged enemies, which he reiterated recently, and you are one of them... You might think that this would be enough not to vote for him, but what he said is that when people ask me: "Why do you think our democracy is under threat?" I answer: let's define what democracy actually is? Free and fair elections, peaceful transfer of power, independence of the judiciary and the rule of law - all of this is part of democracy... What now to do with Trump's administration? Do you advise Democrats to resist and be in opposition? Or are you trying to work with the Republicans?... This is not the case; we always strive to work with the Republicans, this is our responsibility, and it has been this way until recently, we have always tried to find common ground, and this remains our obligation... He was subjected to a double trial and judicial scrutiny... As you know, the court's rule of law was originally a source of embarrassment for our foundations, just presenting immunity to any president, whoever he may be... "New-York Times": First of all, it is clear that there is a significant disappointment with you and with Democrats, how do you feel about it?... At the presidential level, I grieve for the American people if his policy in the first line indicates that he prefers the rich over the working families, and from a political viewpoint I am very proud of Kamala Harris... I was at Harris's speech after being announced after the defeat of the day in the media... You talked to her from the moment of the elections, if yes, what was that conversation like? What were your feelings at that moment?... Yes, I talked to her, expressed my proud long standing views on her and congratulated her for restoring hope to us, and I know it takes some time for the awareness of the elections to happen. Neither one of the democratic politicians would be so aggressively directed towards the elected president of the USA, Donald Trump, as former speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, who spoke about Trump’s victory in the elections, the candidacy of Kamala Harris and the future of the Democratic Party... Here are excerpts from the interview she gave to the "New-York Times"... Thus, what useful efforts could be made for our nation and what steps could be taken in these challenging times, and through this I see possible steps for the future.
