Horowitz's show: "Capitalist, extremist and detached bureaucracy"

The election campaign has already begun: Meretz chairman and health minister even found a target for the blow: the "bureaucracy that manages the state budget." It is not clear why Horowitz chose to attack workers at a conference in honor of May 1 Professionals

Ladies and gentlemen did you miss it?

Your choices are back, with all the usual dirt and grime, that for a change this time comes from the side of someone who is usually considered a gentleman.

It was enough to listen to the fiery speech of Meretz chairman Nitzan Horowitz last Friday morning to understand that he was already rushing to the polls and on the way there he found a scapegoat: "Injuries to society without restraint and without anyone choosing them.

We learned all the tricks, it will no longer be possible to work on us. "

If anyone did not understand why these things were said right now, he sharpened: The capitalists, have mercy on the shadow, from the treasury.

This speech (at the conference in honor of May 1 held by the Berl Katzenelson Foundation), which deeply offended the finance officials (who in the current term actually receive refinement and respect after years of trampling and contempt), may have pleased some Meretz voters, but it proved that the Israeli left and the glory of ideology When

the Avigdor

Lieberman, a member of the coalition, heard these things, he chose to remain silent. On the one hand, he wants to pass the summer session in peace and pass a budget, and on the other hand, he knows, as Horowitz knows, that no one Of those sitting in the hall, those who speak highly of an egalitarian society do not think of giving up, for example, a small portion of their land in kibbutzim and moshavim for the sake of poor, cooperative and egalitarian peripheral residents

. She is the one who is disconnected, but the star on which Horowitz lives is the one who has disconnected from reality.

The economy, the biggest bright spot of the current government

It is impossible to argue with the facts: if there is one area in which the Israeli government receives a positive plus - then it is the economic area.

It is true that the starting point she received from her predecessor was excellent, after the vaccination campaign, and with a farm that returned to work at full strength.

Still, the current government has managed to do the unbelievable and pass a budget, reduce the deficit, lower the unemployment rate, keep inflation rates relatively low around the world and pass important reforms, such as the reform of agriculture, which drives Meretz and Labor voters crazy

. In Hebrew agriculture, when it is clear to any sane person that it has been stuck for decades, it is in the hands of business councils and raises the cost of living. Only business councils have power, just like workers' committees. , Do not want to quarrel with them, even when they understand that they serve, ostensibly in the name of the workers, the interests of powerful economic factors.

For all these achievements of the government (and again: the government, which includes the Labor parties and Meretz as important partners), the decision-makers together with the "extremist officials from the treasury" are responsible, the same anti-socialists with whom Horowitz wants to settle accounts.

Their job is to keep the public coffers and they carry it out to the maximum, and yes, right - there are some forceful and intolerable among them.

The Minister of Health "ends" the interns' strike.

In the end, everything is personal

But the real reason for Horowitz's attack on them, is different: the total failure of the outline trainee he was trying to promote - and collapsed.

The health minister promised the interns vain promises of not hurting wages and reduced working hours and threw them under the train.

The culprits in the current situation, he claims, are the finance officials who set traps for him and did manipulations and exercises, and now he comes to terms with them, promising that they will not work on him anymore with all the tricks and tricks.

From today he is an experienced and strong health minister.

It is easiest to blame the SG, but the one who has to take responsibility for the failure is the commander who did not know how to lead the force safely to the target - and Horowitz is not willing to internalize that.

So before he distributes scores to finance officials, it is desirable that the Minister of Health do a home inspection in his office, establish some order there, and meanwhile take care of the budgeting of the hospitals that are on the verge of economic collapse.

Despite his promises of a uniform and safe budget, their managers still continue to crawl on injured knees pleading, to get a few more shekels in order to give us proper medical care.

While they are trying to finish another month and pay wages to workers and suppliers, it turns out that the minister in charge of them has already started his election campaign.

The one in which he attacks the economic policy of the government of which he is a member and even takes out, on behalf of the workers of course, the slander of other workers.

It may be typical behavior for someone who is an oppositionist at heart: shouting and pointing out failures without taking responsibility, but Horowitz - like some of his party members (and the Nursing Party, Labor), had to internalize ministerial responsibility and understand that political life led him to where to run.

Or in short: act like a minister and not like an MK from the opposition.
