Levin told interviewer Lesley Stahl that he respects the demonstrator’s right to protest, but they should also remember that the present government won the election.
“No democracy can accept a situation where the government, the elected government that has a majority in the parliament, will be unable to pass any bill and to do anything because there are protests, because there are some people that are against it,” he said.
