Candidates for job primaries: “Want to be a part of the change”

Wright, who is known to the public through the television screen, said: “It is possible that this public branding remains in the headlines because my legal work, which I have been doing for 10 years, is not in the media day and night, and not heard and seen, and does not appear in color articles every Monday and Thursday. My true self, in which I actually live, work and breathe all these last years. “

– We know that you are accompanying the families of the victims from Nahal Tzafit.
“Yes, I accompany and represent them in three proceedings, one of which is a procedure for establishing a public committee. At the moment we are waiting for the Minister of Justice to approve the request of Tzachi Hanegbi, who finally looked the parents in the eye and said – ‘I am setting up a commission of inquiry.’ Stuck in Mr. Bnei Gantz. “

– You say that after experiencing it you prefer to do it yourself from the inside.
“Yes, because it does not work. First of all there is a really hard feeling, I think all the citizens of Israel, who are lying a bit. Everyone goes with masks, and politicians go with masks too, and it is time to take them off. “The truth, and he will be able to cope. He also needs to feel cared for, and not feel it now. We felt it in our flesh.”

Wright shared the reasons that led her to run: “On the one hand I joined at this point in time because I feel there has been some change. People are tired of everything going on around, this leadership, the decisions. It seems the state is falling apart in a moment. When you see and feel some change, you want to be a part of it and bring the new thing. You know what, as you sit here and run this show, and you do not need a man sitting next to you and doing it, the same thing Michael will do. You see it already. In all countries. “

Loud abundance, Who in recent weeks has experienced several storms as chairman of the education committee and has even more than once reversed government decisions, recounted the decision to run in the party.

“I am a member of the labor movement as a young kibbutznik, and an educator, and I am proud to feel at home,” he said. “That the most important sentence to say this morning is that it’s just a celebration. The four of us are here. If someone two weeks ago had said that this would be the case, a party with such momentum … it’s very much thanks to the impressive and very determined work of Merav Michaeli. “My life. In blue and white, too, I was on the left side, the hawk, who still cared inside – which very few people dared to do.”

– She was given credit, but this determined work brought you from about 4 seats to 5.
“We are only on the rise, I think we are the only center-left party that is on the rise compared to all the other parties that are in the shuffle. It is the happiest thing here, and everyone will vote. You can vote from home, from the phone, from the couch. It is very simple.”

Shefa added: “The whole country saw that I was one of the few, along with a small number of my friends, who knew how to stand up to the government at almost every intersection. When the government wanted to ban the demonstrations – I voted against. When the government wanted to close education – I voted against. And of course, the significant correction. It was most when I made a decision to vote to dissolve the Knesset, to dissolve this government, which most of our camp wanted to happen. “

Amar Bar-Lev, The veteran laborer who has already gone through eight primaries, claimed that “this time it’s different.” He explained: “Merav Michaeli opened up the possibility of both functioning and running until the last minute, including, for every Israeli citizen who identifies with the values ​​of the Labor Party. I think it was a very smart move, that he gave impetus to its election to the Labor Party. Second, at least me, I only went in 48 hours ago so there is no mess of the polls and no need to raise money and hang signs, and you can vote from home. This is a real celebration. This is an opportunity also especially for those who are a little less familiar, they do not have to spend a lot of money to cope. Open to everyone. “

– With whom do you see a reunion on the episode?
“At the moment I do not see a union, certainly not with Ron Huldai. He could have run in the Labor Party primaries until yesterday, he knew his situation, he decided not to – and he is a member of the Labor Party. Maybe even before, I ‘only’ 25 years party member “If he wanted he would have come, and believe me he would have been elected to a very high place, maybe even first. He decided not to. There is no place for that in my opinion.”

Wright commented on this as well: “There is something in the trend parties, in what is happening now, that is a kind of expression for the traditional parties. Also for the Labor Party, which has really been lost. I think Huldai’s gamble to form a party for himself did not work”.

Emily Moati, Who has also faced in the past, addressed the possibility that Michaeli would eventually have to be number 2 led by another factor. “I do not currently see in the existing players one person that I would have preferred over Merav Michaeli. She has really won these primaries,” she said. As for herself, she shared: “The woman I was after the first primaries and the one I am now is something else.” She turned to the contestants beside her: “I am so happy for you and you will feel it tonight. It is a wonderful moment, a moment of light.”

She stressed that “no matter where we go, we will not enter the Netanyahu government but we will replace Netanyahu. It is important to say that.” When she and her friends were asked about possible reunions she said: “I’m even waiting for Tzipi Livni.”
