That is why he is afraid of the elite , he is afraid of his surroundings, exchanges for security, he even meets with his closest associates most often on the screen or there across some long tables,” he said.

The special services and power structures were given full rights to create arbitrariness, he is not afraid of the people, he does not consider the people’s speech to be real. He he is afraid of those from whom he took almost everything – this is the elite that he himself raised, he believes that there are so many forces that he is able to suppress any dissent and resistance in the country, he is sure of this,” he added politician.
