PP - Izrael
Napsal: 30 bře 2021, 19:35
Another minor party that won’t run in the election is the Pirate Party, which has run in every Israeli election for the last 15 years but has never won a seat in the Knesset, or come close to do doing so.
It is part of a network of parties in various countries calling for laws to be voted on by the public through the internet.
But ironically, the party cannot register this time because Israel — along with pretty much all countries — currently doesn’t allow for bureaucratic procedures such as slate submissions to be held online.
Party chairman Ohad Shem-Tov is currently in New York as the representative at the Pirate Parties International Headquarters at the UN, the Maariv daily reported. Since Israel has closed its skies to almost all international travel to curb the coronavirus, he can’t come to Israel.
As the only other official who can legally register the party wasn’t able to go to the Central Elections Committee in person, Shem-Tov wrote to the CEC, asking for the procedure to be held via videoconference. That request was rejected.
