Golan already preparing demands for coalition talks if change bloc government formed
Enshrining issues of democracy and the rule of law, along with ministries already identified, Defense, Justice, Education, National Security, and Communications, are among Golan's demands.
The Democrats party is proactively preparing demands and possible coalition agreements should a change bloc government be established following the upcoming election, according to a Walla report. Yair Golan's party is developing a list of demands to present during coalition negotiations, despite currently focusing on campaigning and increasing their Knesset representation.
The party's goal is to enter coalition talks with a comprehensive set of demands rather than simply negotiating ministerial portfolios post-election. This strategic move is driven by concerns that even if the change bloc wins, the next government may include parties with leaders whose ideological views differ significantly from Golan's.
The Democrats aim to ensure they maintain sufficient influence to shape government policy, learning from past mistakes where right-wing coalition members had a stronger influence. They plan to secure specific commitments on democracy, the rule of law, and the judicial system, and are also targeting key ministries like Defense, Justice, Education, National Security, and Communications during coalition talks.
