This is a serious situation, regardless of politics.
‎When a senior official has to move to a military base because of threats, it shows how far political tensions have escalated. Threats against public officials should not become normal, no matter who they are aimed at.
‎It also raises a bigger question about security and diplomacy. When threats reach this level, it becomes much harder to have open debate or negotiate solutions.
‎I hope the situation de-escalates soon, and that officials on all sides can focus on reducing tensions rather than increasing them.
