The second round of local authority elections was held today (Sunday). The city that perhaps arouses the most interest and emotions is Beit Shemesh, which is going to decide the future of the city, between Shmulik Greenberg, the man of the Torah flag, and Dr. Aliza Bloch, who is supported by the secular and religious public in the city.
The fact that the elections are so decisive and critical brought many key figures in the ultra-orthodox public to stir the pot. This is how Israel Parosh was heard in the recording after he lost the mayorship of Elad: “A week and a half ago we lost the mayorship of Elad,” he said in the recording he sent to the residents of Beit Shemesh on election day in order to ensure the victory of the ultra-Orthodox in the city. “I think a great injustice has been done to me and to the general Hasidic public in Elad, and the pain is great, but now is not the time to settle accounts. I am asking you for a personal request, the elections in Beit Shemesh are critical for the future of the Hasidic communities in Beit Shemesh. Go and work for the election of Shmuel Greenberg as mayor And give power for 5 years to the representatives of the power faction in the municipality.”
Also the former mayor of Beit Shemesh and Deputy Minister of Agriculture Moshe Abutbol, calls on the residents of the city of Beit Shemesh to get out of complacency and vote for Shmuel Greenberg for mayor. He went on to say that the five years with Bloch were difficult years and now under the leadership of Greenberg there will be good years. The Chairman of the Torah Flag, MK Moshe Gafni, who completely disappeared under the radar in the current municipal election system, appeared in an unusual way and called out to the audience of his voters, “I ask everyone, don’t wait for the night – go vote early, please.”
The Mayor of Beitar, Rubinstein and Minister Meir Porosh also came to assist in the selection of the ultra-orthodox candidate. On the other hand, at the Bloch headquarters, they turn to the residents and ask them not to vote for the businessmen and combines in which the mayorship was sold and closed 15 years ago between Shas and Torah Judaism.
Beit Shemesh is a heterogeneous and diverse city. A microcosm of the country. The results this evening will be able to teach about what is expected to happen here in the national elections.
