new demonstrations against the justice reform, the government persists

After 10 weeks of popular mobilization, the Israeli government does not move an inch. Sunday, March 12, more than 100,000 people gathered again in Tel Aviv to denounce the reform of the judicial system wanted by the government. But the Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu, chooses to turn a deaf ear. “During my trip to Italy, I met dozens of Italian business leaders. And nobody told me about judicial reform“, did he declare.

A reform that limits the judicial power

The demonstrations denounce an anti-democratic reform, which would notably limit the control of the Supreme Court over the executive, thereby increasing the power of the far-right religious coalition currently in place. “If only one category of people has power, certain parts of the population will be discriminated against. For example, if you are a woman today in Israel, you should be afraid that someone will take back all the rights you have acquired“, alarmed a protester.
