MK Oron: Barak coalition agreement corrupt
None
Knesset Member Chaim Oron (Meretz) criticized the coalition agreement with the Independence faction and called it "a corrupt and corrupting agreement which makes politics loathsome to the public. There is no more practical, blatant and cynical a translation to the term 'buying power with money' than in this agreement," he added.
Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Raleb Majadele also spoke out against the agreement which will make MK Matan Vilnai a minister responsible for the home front within the Defense Ministry and responsible for minority issues: "This fits the idiotic policies of the Lieberman-Netanyahu-Barak threesome."
