Nadav Galon, one of the leaders of the protest against the government, stated Thursday morning that the organizers of the protests intend to intensify their demonstrations and they do not think that the protests that took place last night - which included building bonfires on blocked roads - are excessive.
"Not only did we not exaggerate, you haven't seen anything yet," Galon claimed in an interview with Radio 103FM. "There is no responsible and functioning government in Israel. It's not that half the people think what I think, it's much more. Certainly in everything related to this dangerous gallop towards dictatorial laws."
"Even people who support this government and want it to serve do not support what is happening, do not want a coup d'état. What we heard yesterday from Ami Eshed is another example of how this government seeks to rule the country in an illegitimate way,"
According to him, "I am confident that after yesterday, the more the government advances - and I hope it will stop - but if it advances, you will see the same degrees of pressure and even more significant ones to stop the dictatorship. We are determined."
"We are going against a government that was legitimately elected by ballot, and decided after the elections to promote a coup d'état, to introduce dictatorial legislation, things they did not declare in the election campaign. Democracy does not end on election day, it only begins. When a government takes drastic measures, we go out to protest and do everything we can to stop it."
