Democrats party candidate Yaya Pink filed a police complaint against United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush on Wednesday morning, accusing him of incitement against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. "We must stop this before the next political murder. Her blood has been shed, and this time they won't be able to say they didn't see or hear," Pink stated.
Reserve major Yaya Pink, a prominent protest leader and candidate in The Democrats party primaries, filed a police complaint Wednesday morning against MK Meir Porush (UTJ), citing recent statements Porush made against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Pink quoted Porush's comments and called them incitement that could lead to violence against a senior official. The complaint was reported by journalist Eli Hirschman on N12.
Pink's action follows a series of recent confrontations involving Porush and the attorney general. As The Zioneer reported Tuesday evening, Porush told community leaders that if Baharav-Miara does not stop what he calls persecution of Torah learners, there will be no choice but to 'drive her from the office with sticks and stones.' Earlier Wednesday morning, Porush also sharply criticized police conduct during a protest dispersal, calling for the police commissioner's resignation.
The complaint adds a new legal dimension to an ongoing political dispute between coalition and opposition figures over the role of the attorney general and limits of political speech.
