"We need to do everything, as leaders and as citizens whose future and the future of their children is in this country, so that such phenomena simply do not exist.

He said: "We are all people. Arguments and disagreements - yes. Bullying and threats - no."

He noted: "Besides being a politician and Prime Minister, I am also a husband and a father. So I have to protect my wife and children as well."
